An carjacking defendant waived his right to a preliminary hearing on Aug. 7 before DC Superior Court Judge Eric Glover.
Jarrell Gayden, 32, is charged with unarmed carjacking for his alleged involvement in an incident that took place on the 800 block of 7th Street, NW on April 25.
Following Gayden’s waiver of his preliminary hearing, the prosecution requested Gayden remain held in this case. Gayden’s defense attorney, Sara Kopecki, did not oppose this request.
Judge Glover accepted Gayden’s waiver and continued detention.
Kopecki, also put on the record that a plea deal is expected at the next hearing but did not discuss details of the deal in court.
Parties are slated to reconvene Sept. 18.
