A homicide defendant requested a new attorney be appointed to his case weeks before trial is scheduled to begin before DC Superior Court Judge Maribeth Raffinan on Aug. 23.
Seth Andrews, 35, is charged with first-degree murder for his alleged involvement in the death of his mother, 67-year-old Hazel Evans, on the unit block of 35th Street, SE on July 16, 2020.
According to court documents, an autopsy revealed that Evans’ injuries were consistent with strangulation.
During the hearing, Andrews requested Judge Raffinan dismiss his attorney, Kevin Mosley, because of a breakdown in their relationship.
Judge Raffinan ordered Mosley to find a new attorney from the Public Defender Services (PDS) by Aug. 29.
