On May 27, judges at the DC Superior Courthouse did not release any inmates.

One hearing was in relation to an emergency motion for release because of COVID-19.

Four hearings were also continued to another day.

Judge Rainey Brandt denied John Leach‘s second request for release because of COVID-19. He is charged robbery, first-degree theft and second-degree theft for stealing a man’s wallet on June 24, 2019.

In total there were five defendants. You can read about each case on dcwitness.org.
