During the April 21 initial hearings, DC Superior Court Judge Lloyd Nolan presided over the cases of two domestic abuse defendants and decided to release both of them.

The first defendant is charged with stalking and attempted threats to do bodily harm. The second defendant is charged with simple assault and sex abuse. 

Both defendants were released on personal recognizance under the supervision of the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) and given stay-away orders. 

They both have status hearings scheduled for Oct. 27.
