DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park denied a request that a co-defendant be acquitted during a homicide trial on Feb. 4.
Ronald Wallace, 48, and DeAngelo Glover, 30, are charged with first-degree murder while armed, assault with intent to kill while armed, two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and unlawful possession of a firearm for their alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 34-year-old Tyrone Wright on Jan. 19, 2021, on the 3700 block of Hayes Street, NE.
During the hearing, Wallace’s attorney, Michael Bruckheim, requested that Wallace be acquitted on all charges, arguing that a reasonable jury could not infer that Wallace was the perpetrator through the evidence provided by the prosecution. However, Judge Park denied this motion.
“I cannot say it would be so unreasonable that the jury convicts Wallace,” Judge Park said.
Parties are slated to reconvene on Feb. 5.
