A DC Superior Court judge postponed a June 4 sentencing hearing for a domestic violence defendant.

The 27-year-old defendant is charged with simple assault and contempt. 

The defense attorney recently learned about new evidence on his client’s social media that he may want to present at sentencing.

Judge John Campbell rescheduled the sentencing to July 1 so parties can have more time to review the evidence.
