Rodney T. Lindsay pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter on Feb. 7 at the D.C. Superior Court.
Lindsay, 55, was originally charged with second-degree murder while armed for stabbing Terrance Gause, 53, on Aug. 14, 2021, on the 700 block of Adrian Street, SE.
Lindsay’s Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) representative let the court know that, as of Feb. 2, Lindsay has been fully compliant with his high intensity supervision program (HISP) conditions.
Voluntary manslaughter holds a maximum 30 year sentence or a $250,000 fine.
The defense attorney requested that Lindsay remain on release while he awaits his sentencing date. According to his defense attorney, Lindsay is not a threat to the community.
The prosecutor requested for the defendant to continue following the stay away order which prohibits him from contacting or being around the victim’s family.
D.C. Superior Court Judge Raffinan granted the defense attorney’s request, and reiterated that Lindsay must remain compliant with his release terms until sentencing.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on May 19.
