During a hearing on Sept. 12, the prosecution argued for a protective order for Grand Jury materials.
Steven Maye, 50, is charged with first-degree murder while armed for his alleged involvement in the death of Derek Anthony Walcott in December of 2018. Walcott, 46, was found stabbed multiple times on the 5100 block of B Street, SE.
The prosecutor said that after an arraignment, Maye’s defense lawyer, Mani Golzari, could view Grand Jury materials. However, the prosecutor said Golzari could not share the materials that contained the identities of the witnesses with Maye.
Golzari asked DC Superior Court Judge Craig Iscoe if he could share the materials with the defendant two weeks before trial. Golzari said the material could be used for interviews.
Judge Iscoe told Golzari that he could request exemptions from the order for specific items of information.
However, the judge reminded the prosecution that if the Grand Jury does not meet before Sept. 24, he would consider a motion to dismiss the case.
