Parties discussed the possibility of resolving a murder case involving two co-defendants with plea bargains.
Aaron Adgerson, 18, and Terrance Oxner, 21, are charged with the first-degree murder while armed in the shooting of 22-year-old Edward Wade on Jan. 25 on the 1400 block of Good Hope Road, SE.
During the Oct. 26 hearing, the prosecution said they sent Adgerson a plea deal this past week, which is still being discussed between the defendant and his attorney, Michael Madden.
The prosecution then suggested the possibility of a plea bargain for Oxner. His defense attorney, Madalyn Harvey, said they will consider the possibility of a plea bargain once she has received all of the discovery evidence.
DC Superior Court Judge Marisa Demeo ordered parties to discuss possible plea deals before the next court date, which is set for Dec. 8.
Towards the end of the hearing, Madden motioned for his client’s release. Judge Demeo denied the petition, pointing out that Adgerson is facing charges in another case involving an alleged attempt to escape from custody.
