During a felony status hearing a DC Superior Court Judge released a murder defendant after the prosecution failed to secure an indictment.
Antonio Booze is charged with second-degree murder for allegedly shooting Eugene Johnson, 37, on the Unit block of Galveston Place, SW on Nov. 11 2018.
DC Superior Court Judge Juliet McKenna released Booze, 46, under the high intensity supervision program. He is required to wear a GPS tracking device and must stay with with a family member. He also has a curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
The prosecution had nine months to get a grand jury indictment, which expired on Sept. 30. However, Judge McKenna granted a 30-day extension.
Booze’s next status hearing, which will also be an arraignment, is scheduled on Oct. 25.
