DC Superior Court judges released two defendants on June 3.

James Lindsey, who pleaded guilty to carrying a pistol without a license, was sentenced to six months on supervised release with conditions and DeAngelo Thomas was placed on home confinement.

Counsel agreed that a judge should not decide on any motions until Joseph Evans‘ competency is determined.

The first hearing in DC Court for Douglas Maiden’s assault charge finally happened after he was hospitalized in February.

A judge also denied the emergency release request for Hassan Thompson.

Murder Defendant Ravel Mills‘ initial ruling was also upheld by a judge. He is still being detained at DC Jail.
