A homicide defendant rejected a plea offer and decided to proceed to trial before DC Superior Court Judge Michael Ryan on Feb. 18.
Korin Agnew, 37, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Korey Glasker on Sept. 11, 2024, on the 3700 block of Alabama Avenue, SE. Glasker sustained one gunshot wound to his back.
Agnew’s attorneys, Sara Kopecki and Janai Reed, informed Judge Ryan that their client rejected a plea deal from prosecutors. The deal required Agnew to plead guilty to manslaughter while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence in exchange for prosecutors dismissing the remaining charges.
Agnew rejected the plea offer in favor of a trial. The prosecutor was stand-in so parties could not set a trial date during the hearing.
Parties are slated to reconvene on March 13.
