The defense in a 2017 homicide trial indicated that it needed more time to contemplate possible plea offers and review discovery files at a felony status conference March 7.
Lavonne Beckett, 39, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter for crashing a vehicle and killing a female passenger on the 600 block of Florida Avenue NE on Aug. 5, 2017. Beckett allegedly told police he smoked PCP before driving.
Judge Ronna Beck set no further status dates because the case is pending grand jury action.
