On Oct. 2, a felony domestic violence defendant rejected a plea deal that could have required him to serve over two years.
The defendant is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon. The prosecution extended an offer that would involve him pleading guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction.
In exchange, the prosecution would only recommend he serve 30 months. The prosecution would also not indict him for possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance, which the prosecutor said would add on to his sentence.
After the defendant formally rejected the offer, Judge Todd Edelman scheduled a felony status hearing for Dec. 11.
The defendant is currently being held at DC Jail.
