DC Superior Court Judge Andrea Hertzfeld requested a written motion following an oral request for an individual to step down to less restrictive terms from his two-and-a-half year home confinement period on Nov. 3.
Alvin Halmon-Daniels, 20, is charged with robbery while armed, armed carjacking, and two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in a carjacking on the 200 block of 13th Street, NE, on June 16, 2023.
On June 20, 2023, Halmon-Daniels was released into home confinement, where he remains. According to court documents, Halmon-Daniels has continued to stay compliant with his release conditions.
Halmon-Daniels’ defense attorney, Rachel Cicurel, informed Judge Hertzfeld that they were currently awaiting a response from the prosecution in terms of negotiating a plea deal. Cicurel also requested that given the defendant’s compliance, his release conditions should be stepped down.
Judge Hertzfeld requested the motion in order to give the prosecution time to respond, and stated she would rule after the motion had been filed.
Parties are slated to convene on Dec. 3.
