A DC Superior Court judge allowed a defendant to be released while awaiting trial. 

On June 4, Judge Judith Pipe ruled that Kevin Minor be put on GPS monitoring and ordered to stay away from the location of the complaining witnesses in a domestic violence case. He is charged with violating a court protection order.

Counsel suggested that Minor be released with a relative in addition to an order for Minor to stay away from two people and the residential buildings that they reside. However, attempts to verify an address for Minor’s cousin were unsuccessful.The court would not let Minor stay at his mother’s residence. The reason for why was unclear. 

Minor’s next court appearance is scheduled for July 13.
