On Sept. 20, a carjacking defendant accepted a plea deal in front of Superior Court Judge Jason Park.
Tony Walker, 28, was originally charged with possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, unauthorized use of a vehicle, first-degree theft, and unarmed carjacking for his involvement in a theft and carjacking incident on the 400 block of Marietta Place, NW on Jan. 10.
During the hearing, Terrence Austin, Walker’s defense attorney, alerted the court of Walker’s intent to accept a deal which required Walker to plead guilty to unarmed carjacking and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, in exchange of the prosecution not seeking an indictment.
Parties are expected to reconvene for sentencing on Oct. 4.
