On April 20, a judge at the DC Superior Court denied the release of two inmates and rescheduled six hearings
In total there were 11 defendants that had cases. A majority of the cases were bond review hearings, most of which were rescheduled.
Of the six rescheduled hearings, one was because the defendant is currently in the hospital. The case is also the only case that was not a bond review hearing. Another case was rescheduled to allow for an interpreter to be present and the other four cases were rescheduled because DC Jail had technical issues.
One of the defendant’s, Devin Hill ,sometimes referred to as Devin Smith, is scheduled for a felony status conference on June 9. His motion was denied but will be heard again because his attorney raised Constitutional rights issues with his incarceration.
Hill is charged with first-degree murder while armed for his alleged involvement in the shooting death of 28-year-old Michael Cunningham on the 3000 block of 30th Street, SE on Nov. 29, 2019.
