On July 2, a prosecutor told a defense attorney that he is willing to offer a plea deal.

Robert Smith is charged with a bail violation. 

Smith, 29, failed to appear for his jury trial on Sept. 24, 2019. He was being charged for unlawful possession of a firearm.

DC Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman scheduled Smith’s next hearing for July 21 for the bail violation. A new hearing for the unlawful possession charge has not been scheduled as of July 2.
