DC Superior Court Judge Rainey Brandt granted on Dec. 9 a continuance for a trial readiness hearing.
Brian Wooden,32, is charged with first-degree cruelty to children and felony murder for the death of his girlfriend’s son, one-year-old Carter Sanders, on May 26, 2018, on the 4700 block of Benning Road, SE.
During Friday’s hearing, both parties came ready to discuss a hearing on a protection order for witness identities.
The defense attorney, Marnitta King has an expert from California, and he prefers to observe the prosecutor’s expert. And would like to know the answer two weeks prior to the trial.
The prosecutor said she will need to confirm with her supervisor to make a further decision upon the defense’s request.
Wooden’s trial is set for June 12, 2023.
Judge Brandt scheduled the next trial readiness hearing on Feb. 2
