A DC Superior Court judge continued a sentencing to give a defendant and his new attorney time to review all of his cases.
Khamari Perkins was scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 9 for unauthorized use of a vehicle and receiving stolen property of $1,000 or more. The incident occurred on the 1600 block of V Street, SE on Jan. 28, 2019.
However, on the day of the sentencing, 18-year-old Perkins’ attorney, Thomas Healy asked the court to withdraw. Perkins also has other pending cases, his attorney for those is Kevaan Gardner. Healy requested to withdraw so Perkins can have one sole council for all of his cases.
Judge Rainey Brandt granted Healy’s request to withdraw.
Gardner requested from the court for more time to review all of Perkins’ cases before sentencing takes place. The prosecution did not object
Judge Brandt scheduled Perkins’ sentencing for Oct. 27.
