On July 12, DC Superior Court Judge Anthony Epstein removed a stabbing defendant’s home confinement release condition, and implemented a curfew, following a 10-month period of compliance.
Abdul Mubarak, 29, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed and aggravated assault knowingly for his alleged involvement in a stabbing that injured one on Aug. 30, 2023 on the 1300 block of Columbia Road, NW.
Hanna Claudio, Mubarak’s defense attorney, asked Judge Epstein for Mubarak to be removed from home confinement and switched to a curfew, citing his compliance. She insisted he does not pose a threat to the community.
Judge Epstein granted this request, and implemented a curfew of 10 p. m. to 6 a. m. During this time, Judge Epstein said he expects Mubarak to start interviewing for jobs.
Parties are slated to meet on Sept. 20.
