On April 21, a DC Superior Court judge released an inmate who is awaiting sentencing.
Byron Brooks pleaded guilty to simple assault on Feb. 14 for knocking his neighbor unconscious after accusing him of “taking his K-2 pack.”
According to court documents the victim sustained multiple facial fractures to both sides of the face and left eye.
Judge Danya Dayson released Brooks and rescheduled his sentencing for July 7.
Brooks filed an emergency motion for release on March 18 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
