A DC Superior Court judge held three homicide defendants during presentments on July 3. 

Co-defendants Malik Bynum, 21, Mark Fletcher III, 21, and Larry White, 20, are charged with first-degree murder while armed in the shooting of 21-year-old Rosado Miller on the 1300 block of Brentwood Road, NE. 

After deciding that all three defendants should be held at DC Jail, Judge Juliet McKenna scheduled their next hearings for July 22. 

Judge Mckenna also held a domestic violence defendant who is charged with simple assault, destruction of property, violating a Civil Protection Order and contempt. He is accused of violating his release conditions in another case. The judge issued four stay away orders and scheduled him to return to court on July 20. 

Judge McKenna released seven other domestic violence defendants. Their charges included simple assault, attempted threats to do bodily harm, attempted possession of a prohibited weapon, assault with a dangerous weapon and destruction of property. Three of them were given stay away orders. 

The released defendants’ next hearings are scheduled for July 22, July 29 and Oct. 29. 

A total of 33 defendants were brought before the court.
