Non-Fatal Shooting
|
A non-fatal shooting defendant waived his rights to independently test DNA evidence during a hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Erik Christian on Nov 15.
Theodore Williams, 53, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting on the 4000 block of Wahler Court, SE, on April 18. No injuries were reported in connection with the incident.
The prosecution told the court they had tested biological material, including DNA swabs from two firearms and two cartridge casings.
Judge Christian accepted Williams’ waiver, presented by his defense attorney, Thomas Healy.
Trial is scheduled for Jan 7, 2025.
