A defense attorney agreed April 21 to review a defendant’s medical records before asking a judge to reconsider her ruling on releasing her client.

Travon Eliy was found guilty on April 18, 2019, of assault with the intent to kill a senior citizen in a gun-free zone while armed, aggravated assault knowingly while armed of a senior citizen while in violation of a gun-free zone, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence in a gun-free zone, assault with significant bodily injury of a senior citizen in a gun-free zone, assault with intent to commit armed robbery against a senior citizen while in a gun-free zone.

Eily’s attorney, Heather Pinckney, told DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson that she would review Eily’s medical records before asking the judge to reconsider her denial of his motion to be released due to COVID-19.

Eily’s sentencing is scheduled for July 7.
