‘Three Years Isn’t Enough,’ Says Victim About Non-Fatal Shooting Defendant’s Sentence

On Feb. 13, DC Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman imposed a sentence of 36 months for a non-fatal shooting defendant. 

In December 2025, Keanu Scott pleaded guilty to assault with intent to kill while armed and assault with a dangerous weapon following his involvement in a non-fatal shooting on Aug. 21, 2025 at the intersection of 9th Street and Dahlia Street, NW, which left one victim injured. 

Before Judge Edelman imposed the sentence, the victim injured from the shooting appeared in court to give a personal impact statement. She described her “disturbing” history with Scott, saying she was deeply concerned by the fact that he used a firearm in the presence of her five-year-old son. She said she believed that a sentence of “three years isn’t enough” for the pain Scott caused her. 

After the statement, the prosecution stated that they appreciated how quickly Scott, 26, took accountability, and requested a sentence of 36 months.

Scott’s defense attorney, Michelle Lockard, argued that though Scott had a firearm, he did not shoot at the victim; court documents say that the victim’s wound could have been caused by shrapnel rather than a bullet, but is unclear. Lockard also expressed concern about Scott’s mental health, saying that he was a victim of domestic violence and needed therapy. 

At the time of the offense, Scott was on probation in Maryland for a separate matter. 

Scott himself gave a brief statement saying he wanted to change and be a better person after serving his sentence.

Scott must also serve three years of supervised release, pay $100 to the Victims of Violent Crime Fund, and register as a gun offender. Mental health services and vocational training were also recommended following his release. 

No further hearings have been scheduled at this time. 

Judge Severs Case for Brothers Charged as Co-Defendants in Shooting

DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park, in a reversal of an earlier ruling, severed the case of two brothers on Feb. 17, ensuring the co-defendants will face separate proceedings for their alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of a Special Police Officer (SPO).

Jadohn Bracey, 26, and Jayden Bracey, 24, are charged with first degree premeditated murder while armed, two counts of assault with attempt to kill while armed, three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, unlawful possession of a firearm, and carrying a pistol without a license for their alleged involvement in the death of Special Police Officer Angela Washington , 42, at the Oak Hill Apartments complex on the 3300 block of 10th Place, SE  on Sept. 21, 2021.

Jayden’s attorney, Todd Baldwin, requested his client’s case be separated from his brother. If the cases were separated then Jadohn can testify that Jayden was not at the scene during the shooting. 

Prosecutors said surveillance footage captured a man matching Jadohn’s description in a black mask and distinctive attire allegedly shooting Washington. His associate, whom prosecutors argue is Jayden, was also wearing a mask but wore no recognizable clothing. 

“They glazed over any identification of Jayden Bracey being at the scene,” said Baldwin. “Mr. Jayden Bracey was not there at the scene, and we believe Mr. Jadohn Bracey can provide exculpatory evidence of that.”

Jayden also requested Baldwin be removed as his counsel. Judge Park said he would accept the motion to remove Baldwin once  new counsel is assigned.

“It does appear that the relationship between the two of them has broken down significantly,” said Judge Park. 

Judge Park explained to the parties that while the  judge has the authority to decide severance independently, most judges prefer to litigate the matter in open court. When considering severance matters, judges must consider the value of the co-defendant’s testimony to the moving party’s case and take into consideration the potential delays to the court calendar, Judge Park said. 

Judge Park said the ascertainment of new counsel would already cause delays, making severance a more practical option.  He found the potential value of Jadohn’s testimony would outweigh scheduling problems and approved the severance. 

Judge Park said his decision to approve the motion was based on information Jayden shared in a private meeting on Feb. 17.

“These concerns are not some sort of last minute fabrication to secure this outcome,” Judge Park said.

The prosecutor said they would prefer the cases remain connected but said they would defer to the court’s decision.

Jayden and Jadohn are scheduled for proceedings on May 6.

Judge Continues to Hold Defendant, ‘Charged With the Most Serious Crime In Our Society’

DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson ruled to continue holding a homicide defendant as he awaits trial in a hearing on Feb. 13. The prosecution claims the suspect had a personal animus toward the victim based on her transgender identity.

38-year-old Edgar Arrington is charged with first-degree murder while armed for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 26-year-old Daquane Johnson, who sustained four gunshot wounds to the chest and the right shoulder. The incident occurred on the 2000 block of Benning Road, NE, on July 5, 2025. 

The nature of this case, the charges against him, and his past history are all reasons why Arrington will remain in custody, Judge Dayson said. 

During the hearing, Rachel Cicurel, Arrington’s attorney, argued for his release to 24-hour home confinement. According to Cicurel, Arrington has a large and very supportive family, many of whom were present via webex. 

They are shocked to see their “loving and genuine” family member involved in an incident like this, she asserted. 

Cicurel stated that Arrington had many ties to the community– he is a stable force for his long-term partner’s children, a church-goer, and he has a large network of family and friends in both DC and North Carolina. There are multiple people more than willing to house Arrington while he is on home confinement, Cicurel said. 

Contrary to Cicurel, the prosecutor argued for Judge Dayson to continue holding Arrington. He is accused of murdering an unarmed person solely out of personal animosity, the prosecutor said. 

Arrington is “charged with the most serious crime in our society,” the prosecutor emphasized. He is a “loose cannon” and an “absolute danger.” 

The prosecutor said Johnson was transgender and that’s why Arrington shot her. The prosecutor maintained that the defendant has an absolute antipathy for those who aren’t like him. According to the prosecutor, the court already found probable cause for the crime and the weight of the evidence cannot be overstated. 

Additionally, Arrington’s 20 year criminal history and violent behavior support detention, she argued. Being with his family, said the prosecutor, was “not a deterrent before, and there’s no reason [it] would be a deterrent now.” 

According to the prosecutor, Arrington has multiple assaults against family members. 

Parties are scheduled to reconvene on June 5.

Judge Orders Another Mental Competency Hearing in Shooting Case

DC Superior Court Judge Judith Pipe scheduled a hearing to determine if a shooting defendant’s mental competency could be restored on Feb. 18. 

Donnell Hannah, 27, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a shooting on the 800 block of Chesapeake Street, SE on July 21, 2022. No injuries were reported but one individual was targeted.

According to court documents, Hannah allegedly got into an argument with a man over a woman’s car keys with whom he was romantically involved. The man then reportedly attempted to stab Hannah and Hannah shot at him. The man allegedly returned fire with his gun before two nearby Special Police Officers (SPOs) intervened and told them to drop their weapons.

According to court records, the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) found Hannah mentally incompetent and ordering out-patient restoration on Feb. 5. In order to stand trial, a defendant must be mentally competent enough to understand the charges against him and be able to help his lawyer.

Regarding the DBH report, Hannah’s attorney, Russell Hairston, told Judge Pipe he believed Hannah would attain competency in the foreseeable future. Court records indicate DBH first found Hannah incompetent in May 2025.

The prosecution recommended that Hannah receive treatment to restore his competency, based on the most recent DBH report.

Judge Pipe scheduled a hearing for an expert to testify to determine whether Hannah’s competency could be restored.

The parties are slated to reconvene on March 20.

Evidence Credibility Debated in Random Shooting

DC Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur denied release for a shooting defendant despite questions about the validity of evidence in a random shooting case during a status hearing on Feb. 17.

Christopher Warren, 42, is charged with aggravated assault while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in a shooting that took place on the 1800 block of Q Street, SE on Aug. 20, 2024. The victim sustained a gunshot wound to his right arm along with bone fractures to his shoulder and the right side of his neck. 

According to court documents, the victim and Warren were driving in separate cars when the victim allegedly heard three gunshots. The victim said he felt the glass of his vehicle break before his right arm went numb. Allegedly, there were two additional people in Warren’s vehicle at the time. Warren and the victim did not know each other, the alleged shooting appearing to be random.

During the hearing, the prosecution requested that Warren stay in jail. They argued that based on the random nature of the offense Warren would be a danger to the community if released. 

The prosecution acknowledged Warren didn’t have a criminal history. However, the prosecutor explained the hold would give the parties more time to discuss issues in the case.

Emma Mlyniec, Warren’s attorney, stated there was nothing more Warren could have done to prove he’d be compliant during release. She stated that the case against Warren is completely circumstantial and called into question the strength of the prosecution’s evidence including three other DNA profiles that were found on the firearm, weakening the prosecution’s argument that Warren was the only owner of the gun and it’s evidentiary value in question. 

She said the victim’s car was not preserved, there was no trajectory analysis done, no recovery of projectiles, and the footage of the car being processed was destroyed. 

The defense also questioned the credibility of the victim, who was the sole eyewitness in the case, stating that the victim provided false statements regarding an attorney he talked to during the grand jury investigation.

Given what the defense called deficiencies on the prosecution’s, they asked for release on home confinement.

Nonetheless, Judge Arthur granted the prosecution’s request, declaring the defendant would remain in detention, stating that the randomness of the alleged attack made public safety a concern.

Parties are slated to reconvene on April 10.

Homicide Defendant Rejects Plea Offer

A homicide defendant rejected a plea offer and decided to proceed to trial before DC Superior Court Judge Michael Ryan on Feb. 18.

Korin Agnew, 37, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Korey Glasker on Sept. 11, 2024, on the 3700 block of Alabama Avenue, SE. Glasker sustained one gunshot wound to his back.

Agnew’s attorneys, Sara Kopecki and Janai Reed, informed Judge Ryan that their client rejected a plea deal from prosecutors. The deal required Agnew to plead guilty to manslaughter while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence in exchange for prosecutors dismissing the remaining charges. 

Agnew rejected the plea offer in favor of a trial. The prosecutor was stand-in so parties could not set a trial date during the hearing.

Parties are slated to reconvene on March 13. 

Non-Fatal Shooting Defendant Enters Guilty Plea

At a status hearing on Feb. 13, a non-fatal shooting defendant accepted a plea deal before DC Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman

Ke’shaun Farmer, 27, was initially charged with assault with intent to kill while armed, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, assault with a dangerous weapon, five counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, carrying a pistol without a license, endangerment with a firearm, malicious disfigurement while armed, and threatening to kidnap or injure a person. The charges stemmed from his involvement in a shooting on Feb. 18, 2025 on the 3700 block of Jamison Street, NE, which left one victim injured. 

During the hearing, Farmer confirmed his agreement to enter into a plea, and his attorney, Bernadette Armand, shared the terms of the agreement. The plea deal would require Farmer to plead guilty to aggravated assault while armed and one count of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence or dangerous crime with the condition that the prosecution would dismiss all remaining charges.

The prosecution presented a factual basis for the plea, including evidence that would have proven that Farmer did not have legal ownership of the firearm used in the incident and that he caused the victim serious bodily injury. 

As part of the plea agreement, parties agreed to a sentence of six years for Farmer, which is subject to the judge’s approval at sentencing. 

Parties are scheduled to reconvene on Apr. 10 for sentencing. 

Judge Denies Motion To Suppress Homicide Defendant’s Identification

DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park denied a defense motion to suppress witnesses’ identification of a homicide defendant who they knew at a motion hearing on Feb. 13.  

Christopher Tyler, 48, is charged with first-degree premeditated murder while armed, first-degree burglary while armed, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, attempt to commit robbery while armed, and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction greater than a year. These charges stem from his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 34-year-old Nolan Edwards at the 4100 block of Ames Street, NE, on July 7, 2023. Edwards sustained four gunshot wounds.

At the hearing, parties discussed a motion filed by Tyler’s attorneys, Kevann Gardner and Elizabeth White, to suppress Tyler’s identification.

The prosecutors called in the lead Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) detective in the case to testify regarding their opposition to the motion. The detective testified about witnesses who identified Tyler as those who had relationships with him, either prior to or around the time of the homicide. The prosecutors argued that all the witnesses’ statements support identification of Tyler as the shooter.  

The detective testified that five witnesses’ identified Tyler in photographs, surveillance footage, and social media images shown to them. According to the detective, these witnesses lived in the same apartment building as Tyler, had some sort of romantic relationship with him, or were his friends. The prosecutors claimed that the witnesses’ connections with Tyler strengthened their identification of him. 

There was one witness, who the detective said referred to Tyler at first by a different name, “Henry,” but the witness later confirmed she was referring to Tyler.

Gardner challenged the credibility of the witnesses’ identifications. He argued that some of the witnesses only had a few interactions with Tyler which made their identification of him in photos unreliable. 

According to Gardner, one witness that identified Tyler has a pending domestic violence case against him.

Gardner asked Judge Park to suppress the witnesses’ identification of Tyler.

Judge Park rejected the defense motion and stated that the identifications of Tyler were reliable and could be presented at trial. 

Parties are slated to reconvene on Feb. 17.

Murder Defendant Pleads Not Guilty at Arraignment 

A shooting defendant pleaded not guilty to 13 charges during a felony arraignment hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Micheal Ryan on Feb.17.

Daniel Thomas, 24, is charged with first-degree murder, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence or dangerous offense, assault with intent to kill while armed, assault with a dangerous weapon, carrying a pistol without a license outside home or place of business, and unauthorized use of a vehicle for his alleged involvement in the death of 47-year-old Jeanette Walls during a drive-by shooting on the 4300 block of Wheeler Road, SE, on Nov 11, 2020. 

According to court documents, Walls died from a gunshot wound to the head. Two other victims, who suffered from non-life threatening injuries, were transported to a nearby hospital.  

During the hearing, Todd Baldwin, Thomas’ defense attorney, alerted the judge of his client’s intent to plead not guilty to all charges, emphasizing his right to a speedy trial. 

Baldwin received the prosecution’s evidence on Feb. 17. He requested to reconvene at a later date to examine it. 

Parties are scheduled to reconvene May 6.

Elderly Stabbing Defendant Released After Waiving Preliminary Hearing

An octogenarian stabbing defendant was released to GPS monitoring with a stay-away order after he waived his right to a preliminary hearing on Feb. 10 before DC Superior Court Judge Renee Raymond.

James Johnson, 83, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal stabbing on the 1600 block of Bladensburg Road, NE on Feb. 6. The surviving victim sustained three stab wounds.

Johnson’s defense attorney, Matthew Rist, alerted the court of Johnson’s intent to waive his right to a preliminary hearing which was accepted by Judge Raymond. Rist also requested that Johnson be released with a stay-away order from the victim.

The prosecutor requested Johnson remain detained because he posed a threat to the community, citing his firearm and drug convictions in the 1990s. 

Rist assured Judge Raymond that Johnson had no contact with the criminal justice system since then, and added that due to Johnson’s age, it was “extremely difficult” for him at the DC Jail.

According to Rist, Johnson had spinal surgery scheduled on Feb. 18 and is currently unable to walk, emphasizing that it would be far easier on Johnson’s health if he was released. 

Rist added that Johnson would follow any terms of release imposed by the court and had a network of support in the community.

Judge Raymond granted Johnson’s release with GPS monitoring and a stay-away order from the victim, stating that she wanted to give him a chance because she “wasn’t sure how he would fare” in the DC Jail due to his advanced age. Judge Raymond also ordered Johnson to call the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) once a week to check in.

The parties are slated to reconvene on March 24.

Accessory Charge Dropped for Shooting Defendant

Prosecutors dismissed an accessory after the fact charge for a shooting defendant before DC Superior Court Judge Rainey Brandt on Feb. 10.

Gerald Day, 34, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm during crime of violence, carry pistol without a license outside home or business, and threatening to kidnap or injure a person for allegedly holding a gun to a woman’s face after she argued with a group of his friends at the intersection of O Street and Carrolsburg Place, SW.

Day’s co-defendant, Paul Poston, 32, was sentenced on June 26, 2024 to two years of imprisonment, with all but 10 months suspended, for shooting at the same victim’s car after the altercation. According to court documents, a witness told police Day tried to stop Poston from firing before they fled together in a silver truck.

At the hearing, prosecutors dismissed the accessory after the fact for assault with a dangerous weapon for allegedly helping Polston flee. They did not provide a reason for the dismissal.

Day’s attorney, Steven Polin, requested that the prosecutors advise their witnesses not to discuss anything related to the actual shooting during trial. The prosecutors agreed if the defense agreed to not discuss any of the circumstances that led to the shooting.

According to the prosecutor, surveillance footage showed Day pulling a gun on the victim then kicking her car door in when she attempted to leave the area. The shooting was captured by a witness’ iPhone camera, the prosecutor said.

“As far as we’re concerned, Mr. Day’s conduct ends with this quote-unquote ‘doorkicking,” Polin said. “What happened after that – to be honest with you – we don’t care.”

Jury selection is scheduled to begin on Feb. 11.

Carjacking Defendant Waives Preliminary Hearing, Jailed

A defendant charged in a carjacking case waived his right to a preliminary hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Dorsey Jones on Feb. 10. 

Damarco Jackson, 20, is charged with armed carjacking and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in the following incidents in a two day spree: 

  • Stealing a vehicle on March 12, 2025 on the 4600 block of Livingston Road, SE,
  • An armed carjacking on March 13, 2025 on the 1800 block of Varnum Street, NE,
  • Stealing a vehicle on March 13, 2025 on the 2300 block of Ainger Place, SE,
  • Two armed robberies on March 13, 2025 at the intersection of Oklahoma Avenue and E Street, NE and on the 400 block of 21st Street, NE.

At the hearing, Jackson’s attorney, Quiana Harris, informed parties her client signed a waiver of his right to a preliminary hearing. Judge Jones ensured Jackson’s waiver was knowing and voluntary. 

Harris then asked Judge Jones to release Jackson in this matter, although Jackson is currently serving a sentence for an unrelated case. 

The prosecution objected to this request because they wanted to ensure Jackson would remain held in DC and not transferred to another jurisdiction. Judge Jones agreed with prosecutors, and maintained Jackson’s hold. 

Harris also stated that the defense planned to engage in plea negotiations with the prosecution before the next hearing. 

The parties are slated to reconvene on March 18. 

Homicide Defendant Requests More Time to Consider Plea Deal

DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson granted a fatal shooting defendant’s request for more time to consider his plea deal on Feb. 13. 

Damion Brown, 26, is charged with first-degree murder while armed, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction greater than a year for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 21-year-old Jordan Coates that occurred on Sept. 9, 2023, on the 1200 block of Duncan Place, NE. Coates sustained multiple gunshot wounds.  

During the hearing, Brown considered a deal from prosecutors that would require him to plead guilty to voluntary manslaughter while armed and robbery while armed in exchange for dismissal of all remaining charges.. Under the plea agreement, Brown would receive a total sentence of 15-to-19 years of imprisonment followed by five years of supervised release, subject to the judge’s approval at sentencing. 

While Judge Dayson was confirming Brown’s understanding of the plea agreement, she asked if he had enough time to consider the plea and discuss it with his attorneys, Lauren Moorhouse and Kevin O’Sullivan. Brown responded by saying no because he had only considered the deal for a week. 

Judge Dayson stated that Brown can and should take more time to think about the plea.

After taking a moment to discuss with Brown, Morehouse and O’Sullivan requested a little more time for their client to sit with the plea decision. Without objection from prosecutors, Judge Dayson granted the request. 

Parties are slated to reconvene Feb. 17.

Hearing Delayed For Carjacking Defendant Facing New Charges

DC Superior Court Judge Deborah Israel delayed a hearing in a carjacking case in order to get more information about the defendant’s new case in a hearing on Feb. 10.

Antwon Brown, 33, is charged with unarmed carjacking for his alleged involvement in an incident on July 20, 2023 on the 1400 block of 22nd Street, NE. 

According to court records, Brown was released to in-patient drug treatment on July 14, 2025 after his preliminary hearing.

At the hearing, Quiana Harris, Brown’s attorney, informed parties that although Brown was on release for this case, he was now held for charges in an unrelated matter. According to Harris, while on release in this case Brown allegedly committed another offense and a hearing is scheduled for that matter on Feb. 13.

Harris asked Judge Israel to delay the hearing because she believed details from Brown’s new case could impact this case. 

The prosecutors noted that if the hearing were held they would have requested Judge Israel revoke Brown’s release in the current case. They said Brown was released from in-patient treatment on Nov. 19, 2025, and instructed to report to transitional housing. Two days later, on Nov. 21, Brown allegedly strangled someone but had not yet been convicted, said prosecutors. 

A representative from Samaritan Inn, a DC non-profit offering support for homelessness and drug addiction, told the court that Brown checked in there on Dec. 18, 2025.

Judge Israel asked prosecutors to figure out where Brown was supposed to be and where he actually was around the date of the new alleged offense.

Parties are set to reconvene on Feb. 17 with more details.

Stabbing Defendant Takes Plea, Rejects Self-Defense

DC Superior Court Judge Neal Kravitz informed a stabbing defendant about her right to claim a stabbing was in self-defense before she accepted a plea deal during a hearing on Feb. 6. 

Daniyah Dailey, 24, was originally charged with two counts of assault with intent to kill while armed, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, two counts of assault with significant bodily injury while armed, and two counts of malicious disfigurement while armed. The charges stemmed from her involvement in a stabbing that occurred on Nov. 27, 2021, on the 2200 block of 25th Place, NE. Two victims were wounded during the incident. 

During the hearing, Dailey accepted a deal from prosecutors that required her to plead guilty to two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon in exchange for dismissal of all remaining charges. Under the terms, parties accepted a sentence of between five-to-eight years in prison followed by three years of supervised release, subject to Judge Kravitz’s approval at sentencing. 

Judge Kravitz asked if Dailey thought she had enough time to discuss the offer with her lawyers and understood the rights she surrendered without a trial. Dailey responded by saying she thought there was “not enough time to talk about the pros and cons of a plea or trial,” but continued that she was “ready to plead guilty.” 

After briefly discussing the matter in private, Dailey’s attorneys, Janai Reed and Sara Kopecki, confirmed they did not want additional time to discuss the plea with their client.

The prosecution said if the case had proceeded to trial, they would have proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Dailey stabbed two victims after one had been shot by her former co-defendant 34-year-old Tejan Bah. According to court records, Bah’s case was dismissed after he passed away in February 2025.

Prosecutors say the victim did not make any verbal threats towards the defendants during the incident.

Judge Kravitz asked Dailey if these events were accurate, and she responded with her version of the events. According to Dailey, on the morning of the stabbing, she and Bah went to one of the victim’s houses to get money. Bah was carrying a registered and licensed gun while entering the house and stated “where the money at?” to the homeowner. Bah shot the homeowner, the second victim jumped on him, and a wrestling match for the gun ensued. 

Dailey said that she was scared for her life as the only woman present, and thought the second victim would get the gun and shoot at her. In fear, she said she stabbed both victims. 

Judge Kravitz remarked after hearing Dailey’s statements, that the stabbing sounded like it could have been in self-defense and began discussing that with Dailey.

Reed and Kopecki quickly stepped in, commenting that they had already talked to their client about that argument and based on the events, decided not to pursue it.

After a break for Reed and Kopecki to talk with Dailey, they continued with the plea deal. Judge Kravitz again explained the self-defense arguments and the possibility of trial instead of a plea. The law allows someone to use a reasonable amount of force to escape imminent danger, asserted Judge Kravitz. 

Dailey retracted her previous statement, said she no longer claimed self-defense, and wanted to plead guilty.

Ultimately, Judge Kravitz accepted the plea as knowing and voluntary. 

Dailey is currently serving a seven year sentence, with all but five suspended in Maryland for an unrelated incident. Kopecki asked the judge if it was possible for the sentences in both jurisdictions to run concurrent with one another. 

Reed also asked if Dailey can receive credit for time served while in the custody of DC Jail, which began on Nov. 28, 2023. Judge Kravitz said this posed a problem, as the time served at the DC Jail already counted towards the Maryland sentence. 

Judge Kravitz asked parties to discuss an agreement for the both issues raised by the defense. The judge additionally advised Reed and Kopecki to ask an advice attorney at the courthouse to legally resolve the issue, since it involved different jurisdictions.

Parties are set to reconvene on May 1 for sentencing.
