During a status hearing on Jan. 4, DC Superior Court Judge Maribeth Raffinan set a jury trial date for a homicide case.
Barbara Sanders, 56, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for allegedly stabbing 59-year-old Thurman Lee Knight on March 17, 2019, on the 500 block of Montana Avenue NE.
The prosecution informed Judge Raffinan of the evidence in the case that has already been tested and will be tested soon.
Judge Raffinan gave defense attorney, Mathew Davies until July 20 to submit drafts of a motion and order DNA testing.
The Pretrial Services Agency also advised the court of the defendant’s compliance with her release conditions.
The next hearing is scheduled for March 28.
