On July 16, DC Superior Court Judge Ronna Beck continued a hearing to give the defense time to consider a plea agreement.

The defendant is charged with assault with a firearm and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction in a crime of violence in a domestic violence case.

Defense attorney Christopher Mutimer said he will have to go to the DC jail to review evidence with his client since there have been technical difficulties transferring information online.

The defendant tested positive for the coronavirus on May 7. However, his subsequent release motion was denied.

The defendant’s next hearing is scheduled for Aug. 4.
