A judge agreed April 13 to listen to further arguments as to why an inmate should be released in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Emmanuel West is charged with carrying a pistol without a license outside of a home/business, possession of a unregistered firearm/unlawful possession of a firearm or destructive device, unlawful possession of ammunition, possession of a controlled substance- marijuana and offenses committed during release.
Judge Anita Josey-Herring denied West’s release for the time being but is giving his attorney time to gather more information as to why West should be released.
The case is scheduled to be recalled on April 17.
