Judge Reschedules Sentencing Because Defense Counsel Is Unprepared

A DC Superior Court judge rescheduled a sentencing that was set to happen on Oct. 23 because defense counsel was unprepared to proceed.

Andrew Wooten pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon for assaulting someone with a brick on Nov. 7, 2019. 

Wooten, 35, was originally charged with assault with intent to kill while armed and aggravated assault knowingly while armed. He took a plea deal in December 2019.

Judge Milton Lee re-scheduled the sentencing for Nov. 19. In the meantime, Wooten will remain released under the High Intensity Supervision Program (HISP,) as he has been for most of the duration of his case.
