On July 10, 31 defendants were brought before DC Superior Court Judge Craig Iscoe for presentments. Two domestic violence defendants were held while four were released. 

One domestic violence defendant is charged with simple assault. Judge Iscoe learned that he also has a felony case currently pending indictment and decided to hold him.

Another domestic violence defendant is charged with threats to do bodily harm and contempt for allegedly violating release orders in another domestic violence case. This alleged violation prompted Judge Iscoe to hold him.

The four released domestic violence defendants picked up charges including simple assault and contempt. All of them were given stay away orders.

The held defendants are scheduled to return to court on July 27. The released defendants are scheduled to return to court on Oct. 29.
