DC Superior Court Judge Brandt granted defense attorney Jacqueline Cadman’s request for her client to travel in mid-November in order to help his family.
Howard Fritts is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting of 46-year-old Charlie Miller. The murder occurred on the 900 block of Ninth Street NW on May 29.
During the Oct. 18 hearing, a pretrial service agency officer said 55-year-old Fritts has been cooperative and has been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings to better himself.
Cadman requested Judge Brandt allow Fritts to travel to North Carolina from Nov. 10-14 to help his family. Judge Brandt granted this request.
She said it was very clear that Fritts looked much better every time she saw him.
The next hearing is scheduled for Jan. 6.
