On July 6, defense attorney Kevin Robertson said his client is willing to enter into a Deferred Sentencing Agreement (DSA) as part of a plea offer from the prosecution.
In June 2020, the defendant was charged with first-degree cruelty to children and assault with a dangerous weapon. The cruelty to children charge was later changed to attempted second-degree cruelty to children.
A DSA involves the defendant entering a guilty plea; however, if they successfully complete the requirements imposed on them, their guilty plea will be withdrawn and their case dismissed.
DC Superior Court Judge John McCabe scheduled an Aug. 25 hearing for the defendant to enter into the DSA.
