DC Superior Court Judge Rainey Brandt allowed a defense attorney two more months to prepare for sentencing a shooting case defendant on June 12.
Marcus Martin, 29, pleaded guilty on Jan. 29 to aggravated assault while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his involvement in a non-fatal shooting that left one individual injured on the 4200 block of East Capitol Street, NE, on Jan. 11, 2024.
At Martin’s scheduled sentencing, his attorney, Quo Judkins, notified Judge Brandt that she was unable to prepare fully because of complications in her schedule. The prosecution did not object to the request to reschedule.
Additionally, Martin offered documents to the court containing several completed course certifications while being detained.
Parties are slated to reconvene for sentencing on Sept. 11.
