A DC Superior Court judge said he will issue a judicial summons for a defendant who did not show up to his hearing.
In April of 2019, Marcus Mathes was convicted of second-degree theft for stealing a woman’s property on Feb. 3, 2019 on the 1400 block of 14th Street, NW. He was sentenced under the Youth Rehabilitation Act (YRA) to 15 days time suspended plus one year of supervised probation that could be changed to unsupervised in six months at the discretion of the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA.)
Mathes was scheduled to appear in court on July 17 for an amended sentencing agreement review, which was scheduled to address the defense’s application to have his conviction set aside in accordance with YRA guidelines. However, he did not appear, and Defense Attorney Daniel Kovler was unable to get in touch with him.
Judge Craig Iscoe continued the hearing to Aug. 28.
