During a Felony Status Conference Jan. 26 defense attorneys Anthony Matthews and Amanda Rogers said they needed more time to review discovery and contemplate possible plea offers in a 2017 homicide case.

The defense team is representing Gregory Williams, who is charged with first-degree murder from allegedly stabbing Andrew Alphonso Cook III on Sept 23, 2017. Cook, 46, died on Sept. 25, 2017, from his injuries.

A new status hearing has been set for March 16 at 9:30 a.m.

Williams, 42, was arrested on Dec. 4, 2017, and is being held without bond.
