A carjacking defendant rejected a plea deal, opting to take his case to trial before DC Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur on July 3.
Devon Rogers, 26, is charged with unarmed carjacking and a misdemeanor count of receiving stolen property for his alleged involvement in a carjacking incident that occurred at the 800 block of 7th Street, NW, on May 23.
During the hearing, Rogers’ attorney, Gregg Baron, alerted Judge Arthur of Rogers’ intent to reject the prosecution’s plea deal on Rogers’ behalf.
The plea deal required Rogers to plead guilty to armed robbery in exchange for the prosecution not seeking an indictment.
Parties are set to reconvene on Aug. 29.
