A defendant pleaded not guilty before DC Superior Court Judge Rainey Brandt on June 27 for his alleged involvement in a fatal stabbing.
Kevin Johnson, 39, is charged with felony murder while armed, first-degree premeditated murder while armed, and robbery while armed, for his alleged involvement in the fatal stabbing of 44-year-old Antonio Woody. The incident transpired on the 1700 block of Lincoln Road, NE, on Oct. 6, 2024.
Johnson’s defense attorney, Elizabeth Weller, alerted Judge Brandt to his intention to plead not guilty. She asserted his constitutional rights, including the right to a speedy trial.
Parties are slated to reconvene on July 2.
