Parties made representations that a plea offer extended to a non-fatal shooting defendant remain open for review before DC Superior Court Judge Deborah Israel on Dec. 1.
Dominic Hansberry, 40, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, destruction of property, and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting on the 500 block of 60th Street, NE, on Sept. 26. No individuals sustained injuries.
During the hearing parties stated that there is a plea offer extended by the prosecution on the table. Peter Cooper, Hansberry’s attorney, stated that the offer consisted of Hansberry’s pleading guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon and carrying a pistol without a license in exchange for prosecutors not seeking an indictment.
Cooper requested a continuance in order to go over the plea offer and receive and review additional material, including body-worn camera footage.
Parties are slated to reconvene on Jan. 14.
