A shooting defendant’s trial was pushed back in a hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Erik Christian on Dec. 2.
Ni’jhae Curry, 33, was indicted for assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, endangerment with a firearm, two counts of carrying a pistol without a license, and possession of a prohibited weapon, for her alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting on Oct. 17, 2023, on the 900 block of Sycamore Drive, SE. No injuries were reported.
Judge Christian accepted a motion presented by the prosecution to carry the current trial date by a month due to a scheduling conflict by Curry’s defense attorney, Jonathan Love.
Love also filed a motion to return Curry’s cell phone to her. He justified that there is nothing on there that will incriminate her, rather there is only information showing her innocence. This motion was denied since the prosecution will make the device available as soon as testing is done.
Parties will reconvene on Feb. 13.
