A three co-defendant murder case was continued in order to finish details on a potential global plea deal.
Marcus Martin, Marc Butler and William Cunningham are charged with felony murder while armed, assault with intent to kill, conspiracy, attempted robbery and firearms offenses, for their alleged roles in the shooting death of 19-year-old Derryk Johnson on the 600 block of N Street, NW in 2016. It is believed they murdered Johnson during a robbery.
DC Superior Court Judge Craig Iscoe continued the status hearing by one day in order for the prosecution to finish and extend a global plea deal to all three defendants. The deal will only be accepted if all three defendants agree to the terms.
The hearing is scheduled to continue on Dec. 17 where a formal plea offer is expected to be placed on the record.
