DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson postponed a murder defendant’s felony status conference from June 14 to June 19. The hearing was delayed to give attorneys more time to develop their cases.
Ashton Briscoe, 23, is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting Kerrice Lewis, 23, on the 800 block of Adrian Street, SE. The incident occurred on Dec. 28, 2017.
Requests to delay the case have occurred before. A preliminary hearing scheduled on March 9 was delayed to March 30 to give counsel more time to prepare their arguments.
