DC Superior Court Judge Robert Hildum granted a continuance for a carjacking defendant during a hearing on Sept. 20.

Charles Holt, 68, is charged with unarmed carjacking for his alleged involvement in an incident that occurred on Sept. 2, 2024, at the intersection of 30th Street, SE and Pennsylvania Avenue, SE. 

According to prosecution, Holt was found unconscious at the scene and has been in the hospital since the incident. 

Holt’s appearance at the hearing was waived, but his attorney, Karen Minor, asked for his preliminary hearing to be delayed due to Holt’s hospitalization.

The prosecution had no objections, and Judge Hildum granted a continuance.

Parties are slated to reconvene on Sept. 26.
