On July 13, DC Superior Court Judge Erik Christian scheduled a hearing for Aug. 25 to reexamine a case that has new evidence.
During the hearing, the prosecution said they need time to collect more information and reach out to witnesses.
During a non-jury trial on July 24, 2019, Marquis Moore was found guilty of of two counts of destruction of property less than $1,000 for smashing windows on another man’s property on the 2000 block of 1st Street, NW.
However, the conviction was vacated and the case remanded on June 3. The case was reopened on June 24.
Moore was originally sentenced to 180 days in DC Jail. The time was suspended, and Moore was required to serve two years of supervised probation on July 30, 2019.
However, during a Jan. 2 hearing, his probation was revoked and he was sentenced to 240 days in jail – 120 days for each count. On April 9, his sentences were amended to run concurrent to one another, rather than consecutive.
