On July 11, DC Superior Court Judge Heidi Pasichow continued a sentencing to a later date, stating “I want to take another look” at the defense’s sentencing memorandum.
Tyequan Taylor, 28, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and carrying a pistol without a license outside of a home or business for his involvement in a non-fatal shooting on Aug. 22, 2023, on the 500 block of Taylor Street, NW. No injuries were reported.
Tammy Thom, Taylor’s defense attorney, filed a memorandum of sentencing which detailed her guidelines for sentencing.
The memorandum also addressed the prosecution’s concerns about the defendant’s criminal history score.
Judge Pasichow stated she did not have a chance to review the memorandum before parties met on July 11. She said she didn’t want to rush the sentencing by not being able to give Taylor a fair assessment.
Parties are slated to meet on Aug 21.
