Homicide Defendant Refuses to Attend Court Again

A homicide and shooting defendant once again refused to attend a hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson on Oct. 10.

Jordan Therman, 26, is charged with first-degree premeditated murder while armed, first-degree murder while armed, two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, robbery, and the unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction for allegedly murdering 33-year-old Denzel Greenwood on the 1900 block of 13th Street, NW, on Aug. 4, 2023.

He is also charged with two counts of assault with the intent to kill while armed, aggravated assault while armed, four counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, endangerment with a firearm in a public place, armed carjacking, and possession of a firearm with a prior conviction for his alleged involvement in a shooting that wounded one individual on the 3900 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, SW, on Feb. 7, 2024.

During the hearing, Judge Dayson noted that Therman had “declined” to come to court. Therman failed to appear in court on two other occasions. She acknowledged that a legal determination could still be made in his absence, but decided to continue the hearing on another date to allow the defendant to be present.

Parties are slated to reconvene on Oct 24.
