A DC Superior Court judge denied a defendant’s release, opting to reschedule his sentencing.
Maurice Smith pleaded guilty to second-degree burglary on Feb. 27.
Smith is currently living at a halfway house and under a work release. However his attorney filed a motion to be released from the halfway house and work release on April 9 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Judge Anita Josey-Herring opted to deny Smith’s motion for release from the halfway house.
Smith’s sentencing was initially scheduled for April 20, but has now been rescheduled to occur on May 4.
