A DC Superior Court judge decided push back a hearing to give the defense more time.

Anton Goodman, 19, is charged with carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business and bail violation in four cases. 

The defense was given more time to discuss a plea deal that was offered during the Aug. 25 hearing.

Defense attorney Lloyd Malech said he needed time to discuss the offer with his client. He asked Judge Judith Smith to hold the hearing on another day. 

Judge Smith agreed, scheduling Goodman’s next court appearance for Oct. 14. 

Goodman is currently being held in DC Jail.
