A D.C. Superior Court judge postponed a preliminary hearing Jan. 10, to give the defense more time to review case materials.
Terell Kevonte Blackman and 25-year-old Devin Hill are charged with first-degree murder while armed. Hill is also charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for their involvement in the death of 28 year-old Michael Cunningham on Nov. 29.
Blackman’s attorney, Steven Kiersh, asked Judge Anita Josey-Herring for additional time to review discovery materials given to him by the prosecution.
Hill’s attorney, Roderick Thompson, also asked for a continuance because he wanted a co-counselor to join him on the case.
The prosecutor did not object to the continuance.
The preliminary hearing is scheduled to occur on Jan. 16.
