DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro revoked a shooting defendant’s probation due to non-compliance on Jan. 30, netting him one day of jail time.
On March 29, 2023, James Young, 55, pleaded guilty to attempted robbery and carrying a pistol without a license outside home or place of business for his involvement in a robbery turned shooting at the WAWA store on the 1200 block of Wisconsin Ave, NW on Aug. 30, 2022. No injuries were reported.
On June 15, 2023, DC Superior Court Judge Michael Ryan sentenced Young to 22 months of incarceration, with all but 14 months suspended, for the attempted robbery, and 24 months, with all but 14 suspended, for carrying a pistol without a license.
Judge Di Toro previously re-sentenced Young in October 2024, due to multiple reports of non-compliance during the probation period.
During the hearing, the prosecution requested another revocation of probation which was supported by the same recommendation from Young’s probation officer. Young’s attorney, Joseph Fay, suggested imposing backup time – giving credit for the amount of time a defendant remains detained prior to their trial or conviction.
Judge Di Toro agreed and re-sentenced Young to 212 days of jail, with all but one suspended.
No further dates were set.
