After a 2019 trial ended in a guilty verdict a DC Superior Court judge set a new date citing missing evidence.
Kimberly Thompson was convicted of first-degree murder in March of 2019 for shooting Charles Mayo, 53, on the 1900 block of Bennett Place, NE.
April 9, 2019, defense filed a motion for dismissal due to the prosecution’s negligence to disclose information that would have been helpful to the case.
DC Superior Court Judge Juliet McKenna denied the dismissal of the case. Instead, she set a new trial date.
One of the two prosecutors on the case said they are open to creating a plea deal as long as Thompson and his defense counsel are open to accepting a plea deal.
Defense attorney Kevin Mosley said he would need to speak to his client before making any decisions.
A trial readiness hearing is set for Aug. 12. The first day of trial is scheduled to begin on Sept. 8.
