On Aug. 10, a DC Superior Court judge released a defendant after he pleaded guilty to robbery.
As part of a plea agreement with the prosecution, Ibrahim Delacruz’s armed robbery charge will be dropped.
Defense attorney Linden Fry asked for his client’s release based on his long period of incarceration and minor criminal record.
The prosecution opposed the release, citing the violent nature of the offenses and the defendant’s two prior theft convictions in Virginia.
Judge Juliet McKenna released Delacruz, 21, on GPS monitoring. She based her decision on the defendant’s limited criminal history, early acceptance of responsibility and lack of violent involvement in the case.
Delacruz is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 16.
