Attorneys for a defendant in a murder case from 2015 asked for additional time to consider a plea offer before DC Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman on Sept. 12.
Sean Green, 34, is charged with first-degree murder, two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, assault with intent to kill and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction greater than a year. These charges stem from his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of Derrick Black, 24, on the 3300 block of Georgia Avenue, NE, on July 30, 2015.
In 2018, Green was convicted by a jury on these charges. In 2024, Green’s conviction was overturned on appeal due to a violation of his Miranda rights and the case was reopened.
The prosecution offered a plea where they would dismiss all other charges if Green pleads guilty to second-degree murder while armed.
Defense attorney Russell Hairston asked for more time to consider this plea offer and the prosecution agreed.
Green’s case is set to go to trial on Nov. 3.
Parties are set to reconvene on Oct. 17.
