A DC Superior Court judge continued a March 16 hearing in a post-conviction sex abuse case, so parties could decide on the best time frame for sentencing and if it should be done in person or remote.
In January of 2020, Jamar Tillman was convicted of misdemeanor sex abuse, attempted misdemeanor sex abuse, third-degree sex abuse, kidnapping and robbery following a court trial.
During the March 16 hearing, defense attorney Jonathan Zucker said he would file a motion to have his client placed in the psychiatric ward at the DC Jail.
Tillman had been held at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, DC’s psychiatric institution, but was transferred to the DC Jail a little over two months after the verdict was passed.
In the meantime, Judge Neal Kravitz scheduled a status hearing for May 7.
