A DC Superior Court judge scheduled another hearing to determine if a murder case has enough evidence to go to trial.
Mohamed Goodwin , 34, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting of 25-year-old Devonte Wilson. On Dec. 3, 2020, Wilson was found in a vehicle on the 700 block of Morton Street, NW, suffering from a gunshot wound.
During the Feb. 10 proceeding, Judge Juliet McKenna set a tentative date for the hearing for March 25 and requested that the prosecution confirm this date via email before noon on Feb. 11.
Before the hearing, Goodwin complained that his defense attorney Lee Smith had not met with him in jail, D.C. Witness previously reported. Judge Danya Dayson said that COVID-19 restrictions have hindered visitation protocol, and she does not believe this was a counsel error.
Smith told Judge Milton Lee that he has addressed Goodwin’s concerns and they were prepared to proceed with the hearing.
