Judge Holds Off on Setting Trial Dates for Murder Case

A DC Superior Court judge continued a May 4 trial readiness hearing, so the defense attorney could have more time to go over recent evidence disclosures with his client.

Kavonte Richardson is charged with felony murder while armed while committing or attempting to commit robbery in connection with the stabbing of 24-year-old Matthew Scott Rooker on the 600 block of 7th Street, NW, on May 23, 2018.

Richardson, 27, is also charged with armed robbery and carrying a dangerous weapon in this case.

Judge Juliet McKenna scheduled the next hearing for July 1.
