Eric Foreman’s trial for felony murder has been rescheduled from February to August.
Foreman, 18, is charged in the August 2010 shooting death of Catholic University graduate student Neil Godleski. Godleski was bicycling home from his job as a waiter at a restaurant when Foreman allegedly robbed him for $60 at gunpoint in Sherman Circle. Godleski was shot several times in the course of the robbery.
According to court documents, Foreman’s attorney, Jonathan Zucker, told the court that he had conflicting commitments and would not be able to be adequately prepared for the February court date. The government did not oppose the change in trial date.
The trial is now scheduled for Aug. 20.
