A DC Superior Court judge continued a murder defendant’s bond review hearing until May 13 to give defense counsel time to review medical records.
Chad Everette Hawthorne is charged with first-degree murder while armed for his alleged involvement in the death of 35-year-old Antonio Bassett on the 3900 block of Pennsylvania Ave., SE on May 22, 2017.
Hawthorne gave the Office of the Attorney General of the District of Columbia verbal consent to share his medical documents with his attorney Steven Kiersh.
According to Kiersh, Hawthorne received a diagnosis. D.C. Witness could not confirm what the diagnosis was for. Hawthorne motioned for release from DC Jail because of the COVID019 pandemic on March 23. The motion was denied by Judge Michael O’Keefe on April 23.
