At a July 7 hearing, a trial date was set after three co-defendants in a 2022 non-fatal shooting case rejected a “wired” plea deal offered by prosecutors.
Purnell Jackson, 37, Kharee Jackson, 24, and Charles Turner, 36, are charged with multiple counts of assault with intent to kill while armed and aggravated assault while armed, among other charges, for their alleged involvement in a shooting that left three people injured.
According to court documents, the incident occurred on August 24, 2022, on the unit block of Quincy Place, NE. After their car crashed, the suspects were arrested.
DC Superior Court Judge Michael O’Keefe asked each of the defendants in turn if they made a decision about the plea offer.
Turner, who has been in quarantine, responded he had not had enough time to discuss the offer with his attorney. Kharee also requested more time to determine how the offer would affect another criminal case against him.
Purnell, on the other hand, flatly rejected the plea offer, meaning that none of the co-defendants are permitted to accept the so-called wired offer.
Judge O’Keefe then set a trial date for August 2024.
Parties are expected to return on Oct. 20.
