A DC Superior Court judge scheduled a 2018 murder case to go to trial early next year.
Robert Edward Green, 30, is charged with first-degree murder while armed in the shooting of 43-year-old Andre Junior on the 1500 block of Park Road, NW on March 15, 2018.
Judge Michael Ryan set aside Feb. 11 through Feb. 28, 2022 for the trial, the earliest possible date. Jury selection is scheduled to take place on Feb. 7 and 8.
The defendant’s last two trial dates were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The prosecution expressed concern about the length of time between now and the trial date and requested a hearing before the trial.
The judge agreed with the prosecution and scheduled a trial readiness hearing on Sept. 17 to discuss the status of the case and the likelihood of the trial proceeding as scheduled.
