Double Attempted Murder Defendant Rejects Plea

Thank you for reading Baltimore Witness. Help us continue our mission into 2024.

On Nov. 6, Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Dana M. Middleton scheduled a 34-year-old attempted murder defendant’s trial after he rejected the prosecution’s plea offer.

Andre Brisbon is charged with two counts of attempted second-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, firearm use in a felony violent crime, firearm possession with a felony conviction, illegal possession of a regulated firearm, having a handgun on his person, having a loaded handgun in his vehicle, having a gun within 100 yards of the public, firing a gun in Baltimore City and illegal possession of ammunition in connection to an April 9 incident.

Brisbon rejected the prosecution’s plea offer of 30 year, suspending all but 15 years, for attempted second-degree murder and a consecutive 20 years, suspending all but five years without the possibility of parole, for firearm use in a felony violent crime. Brisbon would have also been required to serve five years of supervised probation, register as a gun offender, stay away from the victim and attend a restitution hearing.

Defense attorney David Shapiro and the prosecutor agreed to schedule Brisbon’s trial as a backup case before Judge Cynthia H. Jones on March 4, 2024.
