District of Columbia Court of Appeals

Davis v. United States

August 13, 2026

Summary

The District of Columbia Court of Appeals affirmed Kenneth M. Davis's convictions, held that the trial court did not err in admitting the lay testimony of a Maserati service director, the victim's photo‑array identification, and the flight evidence, and found sufficient evidence for the assault‑with‑dangerous‑weapon conviction involving a child victim; however, it vacated the sentence as the trial court mistakenly treated the voluntary sentencing guidelines as mandatory and remanded for resentencing before a different judge.
