At the request of the defense, a date was scheduled for a hearing where the prosecution will have to present the evidence they’ve accumulated to charge a defendant in a domestic violence case.

Delonte Mitchell is charged with second-degree cruelty to children and assault with significant bodily injury.

DC Superior Court Judge Juliet McKenna scheduled the hearing for June 15.

Mitchell is currently being held without bail. He was denied release because of the COVID-19 pandemic on April 24.
