A homicide defendants motion for bond review was granted and the parameters of his home confinement were relaxed by DC Superior Court Todd Edelman on Sept. 19.
Charles Jeter, 40, is charged with conspiracy, two counts of murder one while armed, first-degree burglary while armed, and three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. These charges are for Jeter’s alleged involvement in the Nov. 30, 2014 fatal shooting of 46-year-old Kevin Robinson on the 600 block of Edgewood Street, NE.
After a year-and-a-half of home confinement, defense attorney Carrie Weletz motioned for Jeter to enjoy greater freedom due to his compliance and need for a job, take his children to school and provide for himself and his family.
The prosecution, in opposition, believed Jeter should remain in home confinement, stating the circumstances have not changed and he continues to pose a threat to the community.
Judge Edelman okayed a relaxation of Jeter’s home confinement, allowing him to leave the house Monday through Friday from seven-a.m.-to-nine-p.m. However, he’s required to remain on home confinement during the weekends. Jeter’s stay away-order from those related to the case and GPS tracking requirements will remain in place.
The parties are slated to reconvene on Oct. 31.
