On Sept. 30, 18 defendants charged with being fugitives from justice were heard by DC Superior Court Judge Juliet McKenna. Ten of those defendants had their charges dropped.
Six defendants had their cases extended for 30-days as the prosecutor was still waiting on paperwork from the demanding jurisdictions.
One defendant was released to turn himself in to Maryland authorities.
One defendant also failed to appear for his extradition hearing and failed to turn himself in to the demanding jurisdiction, prompting Judge McKenna to issue a bench warrant for his arrest.
