During a Nov. 15 hearing, prosecutors anticipated how long it would take for the defense to receive completed results from their independent DNA testing
A DC man, 35, is charged with first-degree sex abuse while armed and has been found guilty of sex abuse against two or more victims.
According to court documents, the first assault took place on July. 5, 2011, on the 900 block of Sheppard Street, NW. The second on Sept. 3, 2011, on 13th Street, NW and Monroe Street, NW.
The prosecution mentioned that two different shipments of DNA evidence were sent to defense attorney Kevann Gardner one being a perp kit and the other being extracts and cutting.
Defense attorney Kevann Gardner confirmed that he received the correct evidence sometime last week and testing would resume sometime in February.
The prosecution may also need to do additional testing.
No motions have been set.
The next hearing is scheduled for Jan. 13
