On May 12, judges at the DC Superior Courthouse released one inmate.

There were two hearings that were not in relation to emergency releases because of COVID-19. An arraignment where one defendant was released and a sentencing where a man who pleaded guilty to robbery will serve 18 months in prison.

One hearing was rescheduled because a defendant was in the hospital.

Another defendant was previously released and no action was taken during the hearing.

Judges denied one release.

In total there were six defendants that had cases. A majority of the cases were for bond review hearings. You can read about each case on dcwitness.org.
