A defendant accepted a plea deal in connection to wounding a teen-ager before DC Superior Court Judge Marisa Demeo on July 19.
Deangelo Wooten, 27, was originally charged with assault with intent to kill while armed, assault with a dangerous weapon, and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for shooting his 16-year-old girlfriend on the 3400 block of 13th Street, SE, on Jan. 20. The victim sustained serious injuries.
In court, Todd Baldwin, Wooten’s defense attorney, mentioned that his client has agreed to the terms.
According to Baldwin, the plea deal requires Wooten to plead guilty to aggravated assault while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, in exchange for the prosecution not seeking an indictment.
Parties are slated to reconvene on Oct 4.
