An armed carjacking case was continued to give the three co-defendants time to consider plea offers before DC Superior Court Judge Judith Pipe on Dec. 4.
Kevin Edwards, 17, Keiphone Bennett, 17, and Asia Clark, 17, are charged with armed carjacking, robbery while armed, and two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for their alleged involvement in an incident that forced two complainants out of their vehicle on the 4500 block of Benning Road, SE, on April 19.
Plea offers were extended by the prosecution.
If Bennet pleads guilty to one count of armed carjacking, one count of unarmed carjacking, and two counts of possession of firearm during crime of violence then he will not be indicted on any other charge.
If Edwards pleads guilty to one count of armed carjacking, one count of armed robbery and two counts of possession of a firearm during crime of violence then he will also not be indicted on any other charge.
Clark’s plea offer remains off the record.
Parties will reconvene on Jan. 16.
