On Oct. 21, DC Superior Court Judge Sean Staples heard 10 extradition hearings, where all of the defendants were charged with being fugitives from justice.
Of the 10 cases, Judge Staples dismissed five per the prosecution’s request.
Five defendants all had their cases extended for 30 days as the prosecution was still waiting on paperwork from the demanding jurisdictions, including Maryland and Virginia.
No bench warrants were issued.
