The defense for Carmelita Henderson told a judge Sept. 13 that DNA evidence would be tested “very soon.”
Henderson, 50, is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting Levi Kinte Davis, 38, on the 4200 block of East Capitol Street, NE on Sept. 16, 2015.
The defense said it is deciphering between what evidence to send an independent lab after the prosecution found a positive match of Henderson’s DNA on one of the gun shells found in Henderson’s car.
The defense also expressed difficulty accessing videos sent by the prosecution. The prosecution offered to assist, telling the court that a specific process is required to open the files.
A trial readiness hearing is scheduled for March 29. A trial is scheduled for April 20.
