A murder defendant’s trial date was rescheduled until early next year.
Clinton Womack is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting Terry Crutchfield on the 1500 block of Olive Street, NE on Dec. 6, 2016.
Womack’s new trial date is set for Feb. 4, 2019.
The judge granted the new trial date in response to Brady and investigation issues raised by the defense. The issues were not disclosed during the hearing.
According to court documents, Womack, 27, and another man entered an apartment with handguns, demanding drugs from Crutchfield and a group of other people who were inside. While others were able to escape, Crutchfield, 45, was shot and left to die.
Womack is being held without bond and scheduled for a status hearing on Nov. 27.
