DC Superior Court Judge Deborah J. Israel granted an extension to indict a carjacking defendant on Jun 23.
Martrail Cunningham, 26, is charged with two counts of armed carjacking and two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence from his alleged involvement in multiple incidents, which occurred on Aug. 4, 2024, at the 1300 block of Wallach Place, NW, and on Aug. 25 at the 1300 block of Jasper Place, SE.
Judge Israel has agreed to the prosecutor’s motion to extend Cunningham’s indictment date in light of ongoing plea deal negotiations between Darryl Daniels, Cunningham’s attorney, and the prosecution. Daniels explained to the court that the prosecution responded to the defense’s counte-roffer on June 20 and hopes to reach an agreement, making a trial unnecessary.
Parties are slated to reconvene on July 14.
