Defense Requests Trial by Judge in Homicide Case

A homicide defendant’s attorney requested a bench trial before DC Superior Court Judge Michael Ryan on April 17.

John Woods, 71, is charged with first-degree premeditated murder while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in a fatal shooting of 60-year-old Geno Freeman on the 6000 block of Chillum Place, NE, on Feb. 19, 2021.

During the hearing, Woods’ attorney, Kevin Mosley, requested that a jury not hear the case. He said he does not want a jury to see the information submitted by the prosecution because he argued it depicts Woods as a racist. According to court records, Woods is white and Freeman was Black.

Judge Ryan noted that a trial before a judge as opposed to a jury typically creates more work for the prosecution. Before establishing the logistics of trial, he urged the parties to agree on the facts of the case.

Mosely said that the defense and prosecution agree on what happened but not the depiction of Woods’ as a racist.

Parties are slated to reconvene on July 10.

Defense Counsel Withdraws From Stabbing Case 1 Month Before Trial

DC Superior Court Judge Michael Ryan rescheduled a trial due to a stabbing defendant’s lawyer leaving the Public Defender’s Service (PDS) on April 14.

Troy Scott, 35, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed, aggravated assault knowingly creating grave risk while armed, three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, and felony carrying a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal stabbing on the 1600 block of 29th Street, SE on Aug. 5, 2024.

According to court documents, Scott told police the victim was swinging an axe around and acting crazy before the victim struck him in the leg where he sustained a stab wound.

Scott said he defended himself but didn’t specify how in a police interview. The victim sustained a brain bleed with a fracture, broken nose, multiple facial fractures, an arterial injury and multiple stab wounds.

Judge Ryan asked the parties if they were ready for trial. The prosecution stated that they were.

Scott’s attorney, Rachel Cicurel, told Judge Ryan she would not be able to represent Scott in his upcoming trial because she is leaving PDS on May 1. The trial was set for May 11.

Judge Ryan asked Cicurel why she didn’t file for a continuance sooner. Cicurel stated she was in trial for the last seven weeks and she lost track of time. She stated that a continuance would be necessary since there aren’t any available PDS attorneys that could be ready for the case before the trial date.

Cicurel requested Scott be released on home confinement with GPS monitoring as a result of the delay. Cicurel explained that Scott completed work at the DC Jail, including full drug treatment. She also stated he completed approximately 30 certificates to help aid his skillset for life after prison.

Judge Ryan stated that it was unreasonable for Cicurel to ask for release considering she didn’t file to delay the trial before the hearing. Cicurel apologized, stating she didn’t intend to alert the court so close to the scheduled trial.

“I don’t want to see [Scott] suffer for my choice to have a career change,” Cicurel said.

As a result, Judge Ryan told her to file the continuance first before requesting release. He told Cicurel she has a week to file her motion. Additionally, Judge Ryan will set a new trial date.

Parties are slated to reconvene on April 28.

Metro Bus Stabbing Defendant Waives Preliminary Hearing, Detained

DC Superior Court Judge Renee Raymond denied the release of a Metro bus stabbing defendant who waived his right to a preliminary hearing on April 17.

Troy Ivy, 56, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal stabbing that occurred on April 14 on a Metro bus at the intersection of H and 2nd Streets, NE. The victim sustained a stab wound to his upper shoulder.

According to court records, the victim and Ivy allegedly got into an argument after the victim accidentally bumped into Ivy on the bus. Ivy reportedly retrieved a knife from his pocket, waved it in the victim’s face, the victim pushed Ivy away, and allegedly stabbed them.

At the hearing, Ivy’s attorney, Craig Ricard, alerted Judge Raymond that his client was waiving his right to a preliminary hearing thus automatically establishing a basis for probable cause.

Ricard requested his client’s release on GPS monitoring and a curfew. Ricard stated that Ivy owns and operates a construction management company. According to Ricard, Ivy was acting in self-defense during the incident, and video footage from the Metro bus will “exonerate [Ivy].”

The prosecution requested Ivy remain held, arguing there was a “quick escalation” from a verbal argument to a stabbing. Prosecutors had concerns with Ivy having to go to “unidentified locations” for his construction job, if he was released.

Judge Raymond stated the incident is, “phenomenally concerning and dangerous.”

As a result, Judge Raymond denied the request for release.

Parties are slated to reconvene on April 29.

Apologizing Carjacker Expresses Regret, ‘From my Heart’ at Sentencing

A carjacker expressed remorse for his actions in a sentencing before DC Superior Court Judge Andrea Hertzfeld on April 15.

Alvin Halmon-Daniels, 20, was originally charged with armed carjacking, two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and robbery while armed. These charges stem from his involvement in a carjacking that occurred on June 16, 2023 on the 200 block of 13th Street, NE.

On Dec. 13, 2025, Halmon-Daniels pleaded guilty to robbery, carrying a pistol without a license, and unauthorized use of a vehicle. In exchange, prosecutors agreed to dismiss any additional charges against him.

Halmon-Daniels was 17 when the offense occurred and charged under Title 16, which allows juveniles to be charged as adults for certain serious offenses.

At sentencing, Halmon-Daniels told Judge Hertzfeld, “I really do regret everything I did…sincerely from my heart.” He told her he wants to make his family proud, particularly his grandmother who passed away shortly before the carjacking. He also said it is his dream to join the Marines, inspired by his cousin who showed him the “right way to live.”

Halmon-Daniels also discussed how the fear he experienced while incarcerated will keep him from returning, saying “I could lose my life…I don’t want to fight…I could do better.” He said he wants to work, go to school, and “praise God” everyday. He said he aims to get custody of at least one of his six younger siblings, some of whom are in the foster care system, and one who suffers from epilepsy.

Halmon-Daniels’ attorney, Rachel Cicurel, argued for a sentence based on Halmon-Daniel’s challenging home life, mental health, and compliance with release conditions when he was placed in home confinement. According to Cicurel, he spent his time in home confinement working to support his mother and never broke the parameters of release.

Cicurel requested 18 months for robbery, six months for carrying a pistol without a license, and six months for unauthorized use of a vehicle with all time suspended but four months.

Cicurel also noted that Halmon-Daniel recognizes that what he did was wrong, and made “consistent and repeated comments about how terribly he feels” and wants “to start anew.”

She also asked for a sentence under the Youth Rehabilitation Act (YRA), a policy that gives judges leniency and discretion when sentencing a defendant who is younger than 25 at the time of the incident and the potential to have their convictions sealed upon successful completion of requirements.

Due to the nature of the incident, the prosecution argued for a total 64-month sentence, 16 months for robbery, 24 months for unauthorized use of a vehicle, and 24 months for carrying a pistol without a license.

Prosecutors said that the carjacking was “extremely traumatic for the victim.” The prosecution also said that this crime displayed an “escalation of violence” for Halmon-Daniels.

Judge Hertzfeld told Halmon-Daniels it is “not too late for you to change lanes.” She was pleased with the remorse he showed as well as his compliance on release, but took the nature of the crime into account, noting that “what [he] did is going to stick with” the victim.

As a result, Judge Herzfeld sentenced Halmon-Daniels under the YRA to 60 months for robbery, 24 months for carrying a pistol, and 24 months for unauthorized use of a vehicle to run concurrently with all but one year suspended. This will be followed by 12 months of probation and Halmon-Daniels will be required to register as a gun offender in DC.

If Halmon-Daniels fails to comply with the terms of his probation, Judge Herzfeld could require him to serve the suspended prison time.

In addition, Halmon-Daniels will be required to complete 90 hours of community service, participate in educational and employment programs, and receive mental health evaluation and treatment.

Judge Hertzfeld told Halmon-Daniels he is “getting a second chance here” and wished him luck.

No further dates were set.

Stabbing Defendant Rejects Plea, Co-Defendant Considering

A co-defendant in a stabbing case rejected a wired plea offer before DC Superior Court Judge Andrea Hertzfeld on April 15 while his co-defendant has not decided.

Trevon Randolph, 27, and Antonio Halfacre, 37, are both charged with aggravated assault while armed and assault with a dangerous weapon for their alleged involvement in a non-fatal stabbing on the 1800 block of Central Place, NE on Feb. 15.

Halfacre’s attorney, Neveen Hammad, said that Halfacre would be rejecting the plea offer. The offer would have required Halfacre to plead guilty to both charges and would have an agreed upon sentence of four years for Halfacre and two years for Randolph. In exchange, the prosecution would have agreed to not seek an indictment with additional charges.

Since the offer was wired, in order for Randolph to accept, Halfacre also needed to accept.

Randolph’s attorney, Alvin Thomas, said Randolph had not yet reached a decision on the plea deal and asked for correspondence with the prosecution in order to work on a new plea offer since Halfacre would not be accepting.

A trial date was set for June 24. Parties are scheduled to reconvene on June 5.

Judge Won’t Let Domestic Stabbing Defendant With Lengthy Record Attend Funeral

DC Superior Court Judge Carmen McLean denied two motions to release a non-fatal stabbing defendant during a hearing, including permission to attend a funeral on April 15

Denita Harris, 29, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for her alleged involvement in a domestic stabbing that occurred on the unit block of Galveston Street, SE on Jan. 27. The victim, who was Harris’ romantic partner, sustained one stab wound to the thigh.

During the hearing, Judge McLean asked Harris’ attorney, Adgie O’Bryant, to explain two motions he filed regarding Harris’ release.

O’Bryant said he filed a motion for bond review, to reconsider Harris’ detention and an emergency motion to temporarily release Harris for the weekend to attend a funeral for a family member that recently passed away.

The prosecutor argued against Harris’ release, stating that Harris has accumulated nine bench warrants and has two past domestic violence cases. They added, she also has five civil protective orders against her, including an active protective order from her mother.

O’Bryant argued that the offense was only committed toward one victim, and the community would not be at risk if Harris were released. He asked Judge McLean to consider that the relationship between the victim and Harris was toxic, and a stay-away order would ensure Harris’ compliance during release.

Judge McLean stated that O’Bryant’s argument for Harris’ release did not differ from the one he gave during Harris’ preliminary hearing, and denied both the bond review and the emergency motion, keeping Harris detained.

O’Bryant requested that Judge McLean consider GPS monitoring for Harris. However, she did not grant O’Bryant’s request because she said this was the “result of a series of choices” on Harris’ part.

Judge McLean suggested that Harris speak to officers at the DC Jail to set up a Zoom meeting so she can watch her family member’s funeral.

Parties are scheduled to reconvene on April 29.

Shooting Defendant Considers Plea Offer Ahead of Prelim

A shooting defendant’s attorney requested additional time to consider a new plea offer before DC Superior Court Judge Dorsey Jones on April 15.

Da’John Blunt, 25, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and carrying a pistol without a license outside home or place of business for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting on the 1900 block of Benning Road, NE on March 12. The victim sustained a gunshot wound to his groin and another victim sustained a gunshot wound to his right elbow.

At the hearing, Blunt wanted to proceed with the preliminary hearing. However, according to the prosecution, if he did proceed, they would revoke their plea offer. The prosecution said their offer might be the most lenient deal Blunt could receive in the case.

If Blunt pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon and felon in possession, the prosecution would agree to drop any remaining charges, not seek indictment on additional charges, and dismiss two separate cases involving Blunt.

Blunt’s attorney, Adam Harris, said he received the offer that morning and said it was “wildly premature to make that decision.”

After discussions with Blunt, Harris requested to continue the hearing to a later date to get a better understanding of the plea offer and of the prosecution’s evidence.

The parties are scheduled to reconvene on April 30.

Judge Denies Release in Pellet Gun Shooting for Suspect With 9 Prior Convictions

DC Superior Court Judge Dorsey Jones denied release for shooting defendant on April 15 after he waived his preliminary hearing, amounting to a finding of probable cause.

Glendale Wright, 45, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, threatening to injure or kidnap a person, simple assault, and possession of a prohibited weapon for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting at the 4200 block of 4th Street, SE on April 11.

According to court documents, Wright was arrested by Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers on the scene after Wright allegedly shot the victim in the chest with a pellet gun. Wright is also reported to have struck a second victim in the head with the pellet gun when they attempted to take the weapon from Wright. Finally, Wright allegedly lunged and made threatening statements at a third victim while being arrested.

After explaining rights he waived, Judge Jones accepted the Wright’s waiver.

Daniel Dorsey, Wright’s attorney, requested Judge Jones release Wright on GPS monitoring. Dorsey reasoned that Wright is not a danger to the community on the basis he is a lifelong DC resident.

The prosecution argued no conditions of Wright’s release could ensure the safety of the community. They stated Wright had multiple prior convictions including two battery convictions in Georgia. The prosecution also said the evidence against Wright is strong, stating there is body-worn camera footage of Wright making the threats at the third victim.

Dorsey responded that many of the prior convictions may have stemmed from Wright’s struggles with mental health, however he takes medication for these issues.

Judge Jones denied Wright’s request for release on GPS monitoring, citing the violent nature of the incident and Wright’s nine prior convictions.

The parties are scheduled to reconvene on May 12.

Prosecutor Delays Sentencing For Obstruction Defendant in Murder Case

DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson granted the prosecution’s request to delay sentencing for an obstruction defendant despite defense objections on April 17.

On Jan. 13, Daniel Bangura, 22, pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice for his involvement in the fatal shooting of Donald Childs, 46, on July 30, 2023 on the 100 block of Farragut Street, NW. Childs sustained a gunshot wound to his chest.

As part of the plea deal, parties agreed to a sentence of four-to-eight years imprisonment, subject to Judge Dayson’s approval at sentencing.

Iesha Marks, 31, also pleaded guilty on Jan. 13 to second-degree murder while armed for her involvement in the same incident. Marks’ sentencing is scheduled for June 12.

According to court documents, Bangura drove the vehicle as Marks fired multiple shots that shot and killed Childs and then drove away from the scene.

At the hearing, the prosecution requested to reschedule the sentencing due to their involvement in an ongoing trial in another case that slowed them down.

Bangura’s attorney, Peter Odom, objected to the prosecution’s request because his client’s mother took time off of work to attend the hearing. Odom said that this was the second time Bangura’s mother missed work for the sentencing, and it was not fair to her to delay it again.

The prosecution acknowledged Odom’s objection and accepted responsibility for requesting a delay, but emphasized that they had not had time to prepare for the sentencing.

Judge Dayson granted the request to reschedule the hearing and told Bangura’s mother that, although it may not be ideal, she could attend the sentencing virtually if she needed to do so.

Parties are scheduled to reconvene on April 24.

Defense Questions Identity of ‘Love’ Contact in Murder Victim’s Phone

The defense called a detective to testify in a homicide trial before DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson about the victim’s phone records on April 15.

Jamil Whitley, 38, is charged with first-degree murder while armed, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business, and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 32-year-old Kevin Redd on June 11, 2020, at the rear end of an alley on the 4700 block of Jay Street, NE.

Whitley’s attorneys, Madalyn Harvey and James Brockway, called the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) lead detective of the case to the stand. She testified that as part of the investigation, she typically looks into a defendant’s family, home life, and work environment.

Harvey asked the detective what Redd’s wife said during their interview. The wife told the detective that she suspected Redd was having a romantic relationship with another man. When Harvey asked if she investigated this allegation, the detective said no.

Then, Harvey asked the detective what she talked about with Redd’s mother during a separate interview. The victim’s mother alleged that her daughter-in-law took out a life insurance policy on Redd because he walked home alone often. Redd’s mother also suspected that her son’s wife had a boyfriend and Redd wasn’t the father of her child. The detective testified that Redd’s mother believed he was “set up.”

The detective testified that Redd’s wife handed over her phone to the police and provided her phone number. However, Harvey pointed out that the number she told the detective didn’t match the phone she turned over. The detective said she didn’t look into the call logs of the phone number Redd’s wife told her, but another detective looked through the phone.

The police received Redd’s cell phone, the detective testified. She wrote down recent calls and found a contact named “Love.”

Harvey showed the detective the call logs from “Love.” The contact called three times around one a. m. and continued throughout the day of the shooting. They also called close to the time when the shooting occurred.

Harvey asked the detective if the police ever pinpointed “Love’s” identity.

“I remember digging into Love, but I don’t remember what I found,” the detective said.

Harvey gave the detective a case file and handwritten notes from when the police were investigating the homicide. After several minutes of reviewing her notes, the detective couldn’t find any confirmation of “Love’s” identity.

Harvey continued pressing the detective, asking her about gaps in the investigation regarding the phone logs. The detective acknowledged that she did not try to locate “Love” despite having a phone number linked to the individual, and stated that she never obtained “Love’s” physical phone or location data.

Harvey’s questioning of the detective, also revealed inconsistencies in the phone evidence with other contacts that Redd had reached out to right before the shooting. The detective confirmed she never followed up on any leads regarding these contacts.

Harvey also challenged how the detective handled surveillance footage and timestamps. The detective testified that the video timestamps were approximate and that a car she tracked appeared in an alley for just a few seconds, despite larger time gaps.

The prosecution objected several times to defense questions stating that they “object to this entire thing.” Judge Dayson agreed, and struck from the record a defense question about how many phone extractions were done in the case.

Parties are slated to reconvene on April 17 without the jury present.

Inter-Family Homicide Defendant Accepts Plea Deal

A defendant who killed his cousin’s romantic partner accepted a plea deal before DC Superior Court Judge Michael Ryan on April 17.

Charles Best, 28, was originally charged with first-degree premeditated murder, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction greater than a year for his involvement in a shooting that occurred on Feb. 18, 2024 at the 1600 block of Rosedale St, NE that killed Darius Robinson, 35.

According to court documents, Robinson was in a romantic relationship with Best’s cousin, a witness to the homicide.

At the hearing, Best’s attorney, Megan Allburn, told Judge Ryan that her client accepted a plea offer from the prosecutor that required Best to plead guilty to second-degree murder while armed. In exchange, the prosecutor agreed to dismiss any greater or remaining charges and limit their sentence recommendation to 14-to-20 years of imprisonment, subject to Judge Ryan’s approval. Best must also register as a gun offender in DC.

The prosecutor said that if the case had proceeded to trial, they would have proven that while Best was putting his coat on at the door, he shot Robinson who was sitting at a table. There were children upstairs at the time. Police found seven nine-mm cartridge cases near the victim’s body.

Judge Ryan questioned Best to ensure that he knowingly and willingly pleaded guilty.

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for June 18.

Repeat Shooting Defendant Accepts Plea Deal

A shooting defendant accepted a plea deal before DC Superior Court Judge Deborah Israel on April 10.

Kyre Robinson, 23, was originally charged with aggravated assault knowingly while armed for his involvement in a non-fatal shooting on the 1500 block of Benning Road, NE on June 9, 2025.

According to the prosecution, officers responded to the scene for reports of a shooting. Robinson was captured on surveillance footage pointing and firing a gun at an apartment building, where a victim was struck in the back. The prosecution also noted Robinson had a prior conviction for carrying a pistol without a license.

Robinson’s attorney, Julie Wilson, informed Judge Israel that her client accepted a plea deal from prosecutors. Wilson stated that Robinson would plead guilty to attempted aggravated assault and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction. As part of the deal, parties agreed to a total sentence between two-to-three years imprisonment, subject to Judge Israel’s approval at sentencing.

Robinson also pleaded guilty on Aug. 22, 2025 to aggravated assault while armed, carrying a pistol without a license, and destruction of property for his involvement in another shooting on the 1500 block of Benning Road, NE on Dec. 16, 2024.

Parties are slated to reconvene on July 10, when Robinson will be sentenced for both matters.

No-Show at Hearing, Stabbing Defendant Considers Global Plea

DC Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman noted that a stabbing defendant refused to appear in court for his hearing on April 20.

Cedae Hardy, 21, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed for his alleged involvement in stabbing another inmate at the DC Jail, on the 1900 block of D Street, SE on Oct. 12, 2025. The victim sustained 10 stab wounds.

Hardy’s attorney, Chidi Ogolo, explained that he spoke to his client the previous night. Ogolo said that Hardy is considering a global plea deal to resolve unspecified charges in US District Cout as well as the counts in DC Superior Court.

Ogolo said Hardy may have thought his presence was not necessary because he would be asking to schedule a new date.

Parties are scheduled to reconvene on June 5.

Shooting Victim Spends ‘Everyday in Pain’

DC Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur sentenced a shooting defendant to 18 months incarceration, time he already served, and three years of supervised release on April 14.

Keith Walker, 31, pleaded guilty on Dec. 8, 2025 to assault with a dangerous weapon and carrying a pistol without a license outside of a home or business for his involvement in a March 7, 2024 shooting. The incident occurred on the 3100 block of Buena Vista Terrace, SE, where one individual was shot in the ankle.

The victim was present for the hearing virtually and said that the shooting “significantly impacted” his life. Bring absent from his daughter’s life has affected her “health and well-being.” Before the shooting, the victim said he was an “active father” and was “making sacrifices” to be a part of his child’s life.

Now, the victim said that he spends “everyday in pain” and is “stuck like this” for the rest of his life. He has a rod in his leg, which affected his employment and impaired his ability to attend his citizenship appointments, the victim said.

The prosecution argued that although Walker had no prior adult convictions, the nature of the shooting was “very violent.” Walker knowingly brought a firearm to a location he knew children would be present, according to the prosecution. They argued Walker should be sentenced to 18 months imprisonment, with credit for time served, which is at the maximum of the sentencing guidelines.

Walker’s attorney, Tamara Jones, explained that her client is “sympathetic” and “apologetic” for his involvement in the shooting. Walker is in full compliance with his release conditions and participated in a plumbing class while he was in DC Jail, according to Jones.

This was not an isolated incident, Jones argued. There were “mitigating factors” and Walker was “never the aggressor,” she claimed. Jones said Walker was “previously attacked” by the victim.

Before the shooting, Walker worked a government job for an agency that “would like to rehire him” after he resolves this case, noted James.

Jones said Walker has already served over 18 months. She requested that Walker be released from GPS monitoring with no probation.

Walker said he would “like to apologize” and “take responsibility for [his] actions.”

Judge Arthur asserted that the victim “could have died.” He acknowledged that Walker had no record, was working, and had support from family members before the shooting. Even though he had “never been in trouble,” the shooting was “avoidable,” according to Judge Arthur.

Judge Arthur sentenced Walker to 18 months incarceration and three years of supervised release for assault with a dangerous weapon. Concurrently, Judge Arthur sentenced him to 12 months incarceration and one year of supervised release for carrying a pistol without a license outside of a home or business.

Walker will get credit for time he served in DC Jail and will not have to serve any additional time. He was on release pending sentencing and was taken into custody by the US Marshals once parties were dismissed. Walker will be transported to DC Jail where they will calculate the time he has served. Once they are done, he should be released, according to Judge Arthur.

There are no further dates scheduled at this time.

Judge Orders Full Mental Competency Evaluation in Stabbing Case

DC Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur ordered a full competency evaluation by the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) for a stabbing defendant on April 15.

Aaren Striplin, 44, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a stabbing on the 900 block of G Street, NW on July 4, 2025. The victim sustained stab wounds to both legs.

Striplin’s defense attorney, Adgie O’Bryant, requested a preliminary competency screening on April 10. After the initial screening, DBH concluded that additional evaluation was needed.

To stand trial, Striplin must understand the charges against him and be able to assist his attorney in his defense.

During the hearing, Judge Arthur accepted the DBH request for further evaluation and ordered a full competency evaluation.

Striplin expressed his discontent with getting re-evaluated, stating he had already been deemed competent. Striplin addressed Judge Arthur and stated, “I want to say I’m not guilty in front of a jury.”

According to court records, Striplin was found incompetent to stand trial on July 17, 2025. After treatment at Saint Elizabeths Hospital, Striplin was deemed competent to stand trial on Dec. 11, 2025. He was then transferred to DC Jail.

Judge Arthur explained that he is not ordering Striplin to return to Saint Elizabeth’s Hospital at this time.

Striplin verbally requested a “speedy trial” from the court.

Parties are slated to reconvene on May 28.
