A 48-year-old Baltimore man charged with murder rejected a plea of life on Oct. 3 before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa M. Phinn.
Ronald Brady Jr. is charged with first-degree murder, use of a firearm during a violent crime, having a handgun on his person, three counts of possession of a firearm with a felony conviction, and illegal possession of a regulated firearm in connection to an incident on Sept. 9, 2019.
Brady, and his defense attorney Tony Garcia, rejected a plea of life for first-degree murder and 20 years, the first five years without the possibility of parole, for use of a firearm during a violent crime. The charges are set to run concurrently.
According to CBS Baltimore, Brady, 47 at the time, allegedly shot 44-year-old Desmond Scroggins in the head on the 1200 block of E. Lafayette Street.
Brady’s trial is scheduled for March 21, 2023. It is expected to last four days.
