DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson ordered a mental competence evaluation for a homicide defendant in a hearing on Sept. 26.
Jordan Therman, 26, is charged with armed robbery, three counts of firearm possession during a crime of violence, felony first-degree murder while armed, premeditated first-degree murder while armed, and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction for his alleged involvement in the shooting of Denzel Greenwood, 33, on the 1900 block of 13th Street, NW on Aug. 4, 2023.
He is also charged with two counts of assault with the intent to kill while armed, four counts of firearm possession during a crime of violence, aggravated assault while armed, unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction, and endangerment with a firearm for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting incident that wounded an individual on the 3900 block Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, SW on Feb. 7, 2024.
The prosecution extended a plea offer for assault with a dangerous weapon for the non-fatal shooting and second-degree murder for the homicide. If Therman pleaded guilty, the prosecution would dismiss the other charges. Additional terms of the plea offer were unspecified.
When asked if he had discussed the plea offer with his attorney, Therman didn’t answer, leading Judge Dayson to acquiesce to defense attorney Thomas Key’s request for a mental competence evaluation.
Parties are slated to reconvene on Oct. 3.
