A murder defendant’s defense lawyer requested more time to review the evidence he received from the prosecution.

Amard Jefferson is charged with second-degree murder while armed in the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Kendall Brown on Aug. 7, 2021, on the 3000 block of Nelson Place, SE.

Defense attorney Jon Norris is new to the case and has not been able to meet his client to go over the evidence they received.

Jefferson, 23, will remain in custody as he awaits his next scheduled hearing on March 23.
