During a felony arraignment, an armed carjacking defendant pled not guilty to all charges and asserted his constitutional rights on Nov. 7 in front of DC Superior Court Judge Marisa Demeo.

Vincent Jones, 29, is charged with carjacking, two counts of possession of firearm during a crime of violence, and robbery while armed for his alleged involvement in an armed carjacking on the 3900 block of Minnesota Avenue, NE on June 16, 2023. 

Defense attorney, Peter Odom, spoke on Jones’ behalf and pleaded not guilty in front of Judge Demeo, who was covering for DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro. He asserted Jones’ constitutional rights, including a speedy trial. 

Parties are slated to reconvene on Dec. 3.
