A shooting defendant entered a not-guilty plea in front of DC Superior Court Judge Rainey Brandt on March 28.
Christopher Wise, 34, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, assault with significant bodily injury while armed, assault with a dangerous weapon, unlawful possession of a firearm, carrying a pistol without a license outside home or business, possession of an unregistered firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, and four counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting on June 10, 2024, on the 4100 block of Hayes Street, NE. The incident left one person injured.
Wise’s attorney, Janai Reed, alerted Judge Brandt Wise was pleading not guilty and asserted his constitutional right to a speedy trial. Reed also requested that the prosecution provide all outstanding evidence to the defense.
Parties are slated to reconvene on April 22.
