A homicide defendant will have to wait two more weeks to hear DC Superior Court Judge Maribeth Raffinan’s decision on a motion to dismiss his case.
Antonio Jackson, 38, is charged with first-degree murder while armed and carrying a dangerous weapon outside a home or place of business, for his alleged involvement in the fatal stabbing of Maria Evans, 59, on the 500 block of Oakwood Street, SE on March 29, 2018.
Jackson’s attorney, Jessica Willis, filed a motion to dismiss Jackson’s case on June 20, citing five different instances in which the prosecution failed to share potentially useful information with the defense in a timely manner.
Judge Raffinan stated in court during an Oct. 15 hearing that she would need more time before making her final ruling on Jackson’s motion to dismiss.
Parties are slated to reconvene on Oct. 31.
