A DC Superior Court judge agreed to modify a domestic violence defendant’s home confinement orders, so he can leave his house to go to work.
The defendant is charged with felony assault with the intent to kill while armed.
Judge Marisa Demeo said the lack of violations on the defendant’s record showed that he “demonstrates that he needs to comply with orders of the court.”
Judge Demeo said that she can reasonably agree that GPS tracking will allow the defendant’s whereabouts to be monitored and provide safety to the victim.
The defendant was charged and detained at DC Jail in February 2020. He was released into home confinement under the High Intensity Supervision Program (HISP) in March.
His next hearing is scheduled for July 27.
