DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro modified release conditions for two shooting co-defendants on Aug 4.
Reco Jackson, 26, and Raquan Felder, 32, are charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for their alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting that injured two people on Jan. 25 on the 4400 block of 19th Place, NE.
Jackson is additionally charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a convict, and Felder with carrying a pistol without a license.
Jackson’s defense attorney, Kavya Naini, said that he was currently on home confinement and GPS monitoring but had a curfew to from 6 p. m. to 6 a. m enabling him to work.
According to court documents, Jackson is compliant with his drug testing, GPS charging and monitoring, and location approval. Naini requested that Judge Di Toro modify his release conditions to have his curfew switched to 9 p. m. to 5 a. m. and reduce the constant verification of his daily locations as it was allegedly burdensome.
Judge Di Toro granted Naini’s request.
According to court documents, Felder’s current release conditions were set to a 6 p. m. to 9 a. m. curfew. Felder’s defense attorney, Darryl Daniels, requested that his release conditions be modified to personal recognizance or solely GPS monitoring as he has been compliant with his release conditions for the past five months.
The prosecutor was against Felder being released on personal recognizance and mentioned that he had a specific stay-away order.
Judge Di Toro acknowledged that Felder had been compliant with his conditions but recognized the severity of the crime. She did not grant Daniel’s request for release on personal recognizance but modified his curfew to last from 6 p. m. to 6 a. m.
Parties are set to reconvene on Nov. 7.
