The judge and counsel determined the trial date for a murder defendant.
Carmelita Henderson is charged with first-degree murder while armed for the shooting death of Levi Kinte Davis on the 4200 block of East Capitol Street, NE in 2015. Henderson, 49, was arrested in 2016.
DC Superior Court Judge Judith Bartnoff scheduled Henderson’s trial for April 29, 2019.
Judge Bartnoff said she expects the prosecution to turn over all evidence to defense counsel by the trial readiness hearing which is scheduled for March 29, 2019.
Henderson’s past defense attorney Michael S. Morsier previously advocated for her release. The judge denied release due to Henderson’s unemployment status.
Henderson is also scheduled for another status hearing on Sept. 14.
