During an Oct. 28 hearing, a murder defendant rejected a plea offer in connection to a 2016 homicide case.
In March 2019, a jury found 63-year-old Kimberly Thompson guilty of first-degree murder for allegedly shooting 53-year-old Charles Mayo on Dec. 17, 2015, on the 1900 block of Bennett Place, NE.
In January 2016, DC Superior Court Judge Milton Lee ordered a new trial for the defendant due to the prosecution’s failure to disclose important case information.
During the Friday hearing, defense attorney Howard McEachern will adopt the motion that the defendant filed back in October 2020 and will be open to attending a hearing regarding that motion.
The defendant said the information presented by the prosecutor was false to which the defendant filed the motion and that the prosecutor wasn’t so forthcoming about it.
The prosecutor will update the judge about the motion by the end of the year.
The defense asked the prosecutor to turn over all the information on the discoveries.
A plea offer was offered and was rejected by the defendant.
Judge Lee scheduled the next hearing on April. 14.
