A DC Superior Court judge rescheduled a murder defendant’s preliminary hearing from June 25 to July 13 because counsel needed more time to further investigate the case and resolve another issue that was not disclosed.
Brian Wooden is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly killing his girlfriend’s one-year-old son, Carter Sanders, on the 4700 block of Benning Road, SE on May 16.
Wooden’s preliminary hearing has been rescheduled twice.
Sanders was found unconscious at Wooden’s residence, suffering from multiple abrasions and contusions as well a fractured skull. According to court documents, Wooden, 28, tried to shift the blame onto other children that were present at the time of Sander’s death.
