A carjacking defendant waived his right to a preliminary hearing on Nov. 14 before DC Superior Court Judge Robert Hildum. Jamari Prophet, 24, is charged with unarmed carjacking for his alleged involvement in an Oct. 25 carjacking on the 2400 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, SE.
According to court documents, the victim reported that a man opened their car door, pulled them from the vehicle, and drove away in their Nissan Sentra.
During the hearing, Prophet’s attorney, Gemma Stevens, informed the court of Prophet’s intent to waive the preliminary hearing.
Judge Hildum accepted the waiver and continued the case.
Parties are slated to return to court on Dec. 12 at 10 a.m.
