A DC Superior Court judge released one domestic violence defendant and held another during presentments on July 9.

A total of 29 defendants were presented before the court. 

The held domestic violence defendant is charged with second-degree theft and violating a Civil Protection Order (CPO). Because the defendant allegedly did not comply with a stay away order he received in a previous case, Judge Renee Raymond decided to hold him. He is scheduled to return to court on July 16. 

The other domestic violence defendant is also charged with violating a CPO. Judge Raymond decided to release him with GPS monitoring. He also put another CPO in place.

The defendant will return to court on Oct. 29.
