Prosecutors gave a shooting defendant more time to consider a plea deal before DC Superior Court Judge Carmen McLean on June 9.
Terrell Jones, 18, is charged with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, for his alleged involvement in a shooting on the 3700 block of Georgia Avenue, NW, on April 15. No injuries were reported but ShotSpotter, which tracks sounds resembling gunshots, detected at least five rounds fired.
At the hearing, Jones’ attorney, Matthew Hertz, requested additional time for Jones to consider the plea offer, but did not mention the terms. The prosecutor agreed to reconvene on July 9.
Hertz also verbally requested a reconsideration of his client’s release, specifically seeking home confinement.
Judge McLean denied the request, but said that she will “certainly address” a written request for release if the defense chooses to file one.
