A DC Superior Court judge released eight domestic violence defendants and held one during presentments on July 31.
In total, 33 defendants were brought before the court.
The held defendant is charged with simple assault. Judge James Crowell decided to hold him due to the other cases he also has open. He is scheduled to return to court on Aug. 17.
The released defendants are charged with simple assault, destruction of property less than $1,000, contempt, second-degree cruelty to children, unlawful entry and attempted possession of a prohibited weapon. They are scheduled to return to court on Aug. 2, Aug. 18, Nov. 12 and Nov. 15.
