A 38-year-old Baltimore woman accused of homicide in 2014 had an in-person sentence modification hearing postponed for the fourth time on Feb. 7.
On Monday, Nicole Washington was scheduled for an in-person hearing pertaining to her sentencing before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Philip S. Jackson. The prosecution informed Judge Jackson that he was waiting to hear from defense attorney, James Scott, to schedule a new date.
Washington, along with co-defendant Kenneth Canter, were convicted of second-degree murder following an incident that occurred on July 4, 2014.
According to the Baltimore Sun, Washington lured an Owings Mills man into a robbery with the promise of sex, and then, with Canter, stabbed him 60 times.
Washington was sentenced to 20 years in December 2017. The defendant last appeared in reception court before Judge Jackson last September when she requested her sentence to be modified. At the time, she was waiting to get in touch with the Office of the Public Defender to get representation.
