On Sept. 24, a DC Superior Court judge re-scheduled a hearing to determine if a robbery case has enough evidence to go to trial.
Juan Morris is charged with robbery for allegedly taking a victim’s cell phone on July 22. The victim was having the suspect’s car towed from her private parking space on the 300 block of G Street, SW, according to court documents. The defendant then allegedly grabbed the victim’s phone and ran towards 4th Street, SW.
Morris’ preliminary hearing was scheduled for Sept. 24. However, defense attorney Sara Kopecki’s car broke down on the way to court. Judge Rainey Brandt chose to schedule a new preliminary hearing for Sept 29.
Morris, 33, has been held at DC Jail since his arrest.
