Defense attorney Darryl Daniels asked the prosecution to dismiss his client’s case in front of DC Superior Court Judge Heide Herrmann in an Oct. 18 hearing.
Charles Holt, 68, is charged with unarmed carjacking for his alleged involvement in a Sept. 2 incident on the 2500 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, SE.
According to court documents, Holt allegedly threatened to shoot a friend unless the friend drove him to an automated teller machine (ATM). Holt, after some time, allegedly kicked his friend out of the car and drove off in the vehicle.
Holt was not present in court as he was found unconscious when he was arrested on Sept. 2, and has been hospitalized since.
Daniels asked the prosecution if they would dismiss the case given Holt’s medical state but the motion was denied.
Parties are set to reconvene on Nov. 22.
