A DC Superior Court judge continued a domestic violence defendant’s hearing at the request of the defense and the prosecution.
The defendant was brought before the court in two domestic violence cases on July 16. He is charged with simple assault in one case and unlawful entry and destruction of property in the other.
Both parties wanted to continue the hearing because they reached a plea agreement, but have not yet completed paperwork through the Correctional Treatment Facility (CTF,) where the defendant is being held. The defense also wanted to update the defendant on his case before he submitted his plea.
Judge John McCabe granted the parties’ request. He continued the hearing to July 21 when the defendant is expected to accept the plea agreement.
