Judge Schedules Next Hearing for Burglary Defendant

Thank you for reading D.C. Witness. Help us continue our mission into 2024.

On Aug. 4, a DC Superior Court judge scheduled a defendant’s next hearing.

Willie Ingram, 47, is charged with second-degree burglary for allegedly throwing a rock through an establishment window on the 4100 block of Georgia Avenue, NW on April 26. He then allegedly stole various items from the establishment.

Ingram’s attorney, Charles Murdter, said the prosecution extended a plea offer at the end of April. However, Ingram rejected the plea and indicated that he was not interested in continued negotiations.

Murdter also said that Ingram was under the impression he would be able to live with a relative if he was released. However, after checking with the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA,) Murdter found out that the relative would be unwilling to do so.

Murdter asked if Judge John Campbell could schedule another hearing in order for Murdter to have more time to contact his client. Judge Campbell granted Murdter’s request.

Ingram will return to court on Oct. 16 to discuss how to proceed with the case.
