A prosecutor said July 10 that he is not in a position to offer a plea deal because technical difficulties have led to a slow exchange of evidence with the defense.
Kareem Boyd, 19, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for allegedly shooting his girlfriend’s cousin on the 4900 block of D Street, SE on March 20.
The prosecutor said there were issues uploading and downloading documents. However, he said he is willing to consider an agreement once both parties have all the evidence.
According to court documents, the cousin had issues with the defendant, who he said was abusive towards his cousin. Six months before the incident, the victim allegedly approached the defendant with a gun and said, “leave my cousin alone.”
DC Superior Court Judge Julie Becker scheduled Boyd’s next hearing for July 20.
