During a motions hearing for a 2015 murder case, counsel told a judge about issues with contacting witnesses involved with the case.
Gary Proctor, 41, is charged with first-degree murder while armed, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, unlawful possession of firearm during a crime of violence, carrying a pistol outside a home or business and unlawful possession of ammunition for his alleged involvement in the death of Jerome Diggs, 42. The crime occurred on the 1300 block of First Street, SW on July 27, 2015.
Defense attorney, Steven Kiersh, said he is having problems getting in touch with a material witness. He informed DC Superior Court Judge Dayna Dayson that there have been two subpoenas ordered for this witness as of June 20.
The prosecution also told Judge Dayson that she was having difficulties contacting witnesses.
Judge Dayson continued the hearing to June 27 when counsel is expected to discuss the witness issue further.
