On May 13, judges at the DC Superior Courthouse released two inmates.

There were two hearings that were not in relation to emergency releases because of COVID-19. One was an extradition hearing where a man’s fugitive from justice charge was dropped. A man convicted of assault and possession of a firearm with a prior conviction was sentenced to serve six months in prison.

Two hearings were continued.

One request for release was denied.

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