A shooting defendant was recently hospitalized, causing concern about an upcoming trial date in a hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Rainey Brandt on Oct. 31.
Marcus Martin, 29, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting that wounded one individual on the 4200 block of East Capitol Street, NE, on Jan. 11, 2024.
During the hearing, defense attorney Quo Judkins told the court that Martin was in the hospital and that she was uncertain as to how much longer he would be hospitalized. When asked if it would impact the upcoming trial date in December, Judkins said it was “too early to know for certain.”
Parties are slated to reconvene on Nov. 18.
