A preliminary hearing was rescheduled from June 10 to June 25 to continue negotiations for a plea offer.
Tyler Hurley is charged with second-degree murder for his alleged involvement in a vehicular crash that resulted in the death of Kunal Talwar in December of 2018. Hurley, 21, was allegedly intoxicated when he ran a red light at the corner of 19th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW.
After the hearing date was changed, the prosecution said it would need more time to make a plea offer.
DC Superior Court Judge Craig Iscoe also modified Hurley’s High Intensity Supervision Program (HISP) conditions, allowing him to remove his ankle monitor so he could go to the beach for a family vacation.
Judge Iscoe said his decision was based on the prosecution’s investigation and the presence of Hurley’s family in court.
Defense counsel, Bernard Grimm, requested to remove Hurley’s ankle monitor because sand would disrupt the tracking system.
