DC Superior Court Judge Deborah Israel granted a shooting defendant more time to review a revised plea deal extended by the prosecution during a hearing on Oct. 23.
Martez Robinson, 29, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a shooting on the 3400 block of 15th Street, SE on June 8.
According to court documents, Robinson reportedly fired two shots towards a group of unknown individuals but no injuries were reported.
The defense stated they needed more time in this case to go over new discovery of evidence and body-worn camera footage with Robinson. In addition to discovery, the defense asked for extra time to go over a new plea deal with Robinson.
During the hearing, prosecution extended a plea deal that was negotiated by both parties, which would require Robinson to plead guilty to one count of assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of carrying a pistol without a license.
If Robinson accepts the offer, prosecutors would not pursue an indictment or charge Robinson with additional counts related to the incident.
A continuation of the case was granted for the defense to review the new information they had received.
Parties are slated to reconvene on Oct. 31.
