On March 3, a DC Superior Court judge scheduled preliminary hearings to determine if two murder cases have enough evidence to go to trial. 

Aaron Jackson, 40, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for allegedly stabbing 36-year-old Jamaul Crockett on Nov. 5, 2020 on the 700 block of Lamont Street, NW.

Defense attorney Bernadette Armand reported that they are rejecting the prosecution’s plea offer and requesting a preliminary hearing.

Judge John Campbell scheduled one for April 1. 

Ronald Miller, 41, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for allegedly stabbing 28-year-old Tiffany Hardy on Feb. 8, 2021, on the 1600 block of E Street NE.

His defense attorney, Jason Tulley, also asked Judge Campbell for a preliminary hearing. 

Miller’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 8.
