On Aug. 22, Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Jennifer B. Schiffer was scheduled to preside over the trial of Craig Williams, 56, who is accused of the non-shooting of his roommate. However, the proceeding didn’t happen.
Williams is charged with attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault, firearm use in a felony crime of violence, reckless endangerment, shotgun/rifle possession with prior felony conviction, possession of firearms, and illegal possession of ammunition in connection to a Nov. 25, 2024 incident on the 1100 block of Scott Street.
According to charging documents, Williams and his roommate got into a verbal argument after Williams accused him of entering his room. Williams then reportedly shot the victim with a rifle at the bottom of the steps.
The trial was delayed for the second day because the prosecutor was unavailable.
The trial is set to begin on Aug. 25.
