DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park asked a defense attorney to file a written request to change a homicide defendant’s release conditions on April 8.
Huey Bandy, 55, is charged with first-degree murder while armed for his alleged involvement in the fatal stabbing of 60-year-old Orlando Murphy on June 7, 2022 on the 3600 block of Brothers Place, SE. Murphy sustained multiple stab wounds.
Bandy’s attorney, Sylvia Smith, asked Judge Park to remove Bandy’s GPS tracker. Smith said he has been on electric monitoring since July 2022 and fully compliant with the conditions of his release.
The prosecution opposed the request due to the severity of the crime.
Judge Park said he was not prepared to rule on the issue and asked Smith to submit the request in writing so he could review the relevant information.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene on Oct. 2 for a status hearing.
