A 23-year-old attempted murder defendant rejected a plea of 25 years with five years supervised probation on March 3 before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa M. Phinn.
The Baltimore resident is charged with first and second-degree attempted murder, attempted armed robbery, attempted robbery, first and second-degree assault, use of a firearm during a violent crime, possession of a firearm with a felony conviction, illegal possession of a regulated firearm, having a handgun on his person, discharging a firearm within Baltimore city, and illegal possession of ammo in connection to an incident on Sept 23, 2021.
On Thursday, Judge Phinn listened as the prosecutor presented a plea offer of life suspending all but 25 years with five years on supervised probation for first-degree attempted murder and five years without parole for use of a firearm during a violent crime. The charges are set to run concurrently.
Under the plea, the defendant must also register as a gun offender.
The defendant and his defense attorney, Martin Cohen, rejected the plea offer.
The defendant’s trial is scheduled for Nov. 9.
