During a Sept. 23 hearing, a 37-year-old homicide defendant pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder while armed.
Jermaine Washington, 37, allegedly stabbed 40-year-old Keon Bonner to death on Oct. 26, 2021 on the 1500 block of Ogden Street, NW.
DC Superior Court Judge Rainey Brandt accepted the defense’s request to go to trial.
Judge Brandt said she wants both parties to arrive at court with co-council members to give a less experienced attorney the opportunity to gain more experience as they integrate into homicide cases.
The next hearing is scheduled for Dec. 12. A trial date is set for March 21, 2023.
