Non-Fatal Shooting
|
DC Superior Court Judge Erik Christian gave a shooting defendant two weeks to finish community service hours imposed as part of his sentence in 2020, on Oct. 24.
In 2020, Marquez Fewell, 27, pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon and carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business, for a non-fatal shooting that occurred on July 19, 2019 on the 1800 block of 7th Street, NW.
Since then he has since completed the required time served, taken anger management courses and been compliant with the gun offender registry. In addition, he has been on probation for two years and completed 53 out of 90 community service hours imposed in his sentence, as detailed by a representative from the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA)
“I believe at this time there is not much more to do with Mr. Fewell,” the CSOSA representative stated, before recommending Judge Christian dismiss Fewell’s probation.
In regards to the 37 more hours of community service left, Judge Christian said, “You don’t get rewarded because you don’t want to do it.”
Fewell stated that he could get the community service hours completed in two weeks.
Parties slated to reconvene on Nov. 7.
