A homicide defendant was deemed not criminally insane before DC Superior Court Judge Michael O’Keefe on Oct. 17, following multiple evaluations between 2021 and 2024.
Bobby Jordan, also known as Hilman Ray Jordan, 46, is charged with first-degree murder while armed, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence and carrying a pistol without a license, for his alleged involvement in the murder of Jawaid Bhutto, 64, on March 1, 2019, on the 2600 block of Wade Road, SE.
During the hearing, defense attorney Dana Page requested a deadline for the prosecution’s expert’s report to be submitted within the next month.
Prosecutors stated they needed more time to get the physical report from their expert. However, they gave a summary of their last conversation, claiming that the defendant was able to understand right from wrong and knew what he was doing at the time of the incident, therefore deeming him not criminally insane.
Defense counsel pushed for a November date but Judge O’Keefe set a deadline for the prosecution to turn over the report by Jan 3, 2025.
Parties are set to reconvene on Feb. 14.
