A carjacking defendant accepted a plea deal extended by prosecutors before DC Superior Court Judge Andrea Hertzfeld on April 1.
Auzsa Beatty, 29, was originally charged with armed carjacking and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for her involvement in an incident on the 4800 block of Lee Street, NE on March 11, 2024.
Beatty’s attorney, Lauckland Nicholas, acknowledged they would be entering a plea agreement with the prosecution.
As such, Beatty pleaded guilty to unarmed carjacking, in exchange of the prosecution not seeking an indictment and dismissing all other charges. The prosecution also agreed to cap their sentencing request at seven years of incarceration.
Parties are slated to reconvene on June 23.
