On Oct. 26, a DC Superior Court judge scheduled a plea deal hearing in a domestic violence case.
The defendant is charged with two felonies, including assault with a dangerous weapon and cruelty to animals.
Defense attorney Peter Cooper said that the defense has finished negotiations with the prosecution for the acceptance of a plea deal.
Although both parties wanted to officially accept the plea deal in the Oct. 26 hearing, Judge Julie Becker said that she could not do so in the assigned courtroom.
The plea deal hearing was rescheduled to Nov. 3, so that the defendant could be present and the case judge, Judge Michael Ryan, could preside.
