A judge denies a defendant’s release after continuing hearing.
David Cunningham was charged with assault with significant bodily injury, carrying a dangerous weapon outside of a home or business, unlawful entry to a private property, possession of a controlled substance (cocaine), assault with intent to kill while armed (sharp object), and aggravated assault knowingly while armed.
On April 9, DC Superior Court Judge Neal Kravitz continued the defendant’s bond hearing to determine whether or not Cunningham’s health conditions could increase the likelihood of him contracting COVID-19.
Judge Kravitz continued the matter until April 14, permitting the defense and prosecution to submit more filings with medical evidence.
On April 14, the defense requested that the hearing be continued until April 17. It was granted.
On April 17, DC Superior Court Judge Josey-Herring denied Cunningham’s release motion.
A probation show cause hearing is scheduled for Oct. 16.
