Judge Orders Delay Release for Defendant

A DC Superior Court judge granted a defendant’s motion for release May 8, however the release is not immediate.

Lawrence Murphy is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon.

Judge Neal Kravitz decided that Murphy could be released on May 11. It is unclear why Murphy has to wait until Monday.

While released, Lawrence will be on home confinement for 24 hours a day, seven days a week until the court tells him otherwise.

He filed for release because of the COVID-19 pandemic on April 30.
