A DC Superior Court judge continued a hearing for a double homicide case, so a newly appointed defense attorney could have more time to familiarize herself with the case.
George Bernard Shaw is charged with first-degree murder while armed in the fatal shooting of Marcus Nelson, 59, and Simmeon Williams, 39, on Oct. 10, 2020, on the 1700 block of Irving Street, NE.
There has been no plea offer nor has there been a request for a plea, according to the prosecution.
Judge John Campbell scheduled the next hearing for April 7. In the meantime, Shaw will remain held at DC Jail, where he’s been since Oct. 13, 2020.
Madalyn Harvey has been appointed as the new defense attorney.
