On July 21, a DC Superior Court judge rescheduled hearing for a domestic violence case.
The defendant is charged with second-degree cruelty to children and assault with a dangerous weapon. He has been held in DC Jail since April 30. This is the second time that Williams’s hearing has been rescheduled.
Defense attorney Steven Ogilvie requested that the hearing be rescheduled due to “difficulties to contact [the defendant] at the jail.”
The defendant said he was confused because he recently spoke with his attorney and signed several documents. Judge Ronna Beck permitted Williams and Ogilvie to have a private phone call during the hearing to discuss how to proceed.
The defendant returned to the hearing in agreement with his attorney.
Judge Beck rescheduled the hearing for July 30.
