DC Superior Court Judge Neal Kravitz requested a written motion before ruling on the defendant’s oral request to remove her GPS monitor on Nov. 14.
Meyona Rorie, 25, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed and aggravated assault while armed for her alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting on Aug. 20, on the 3600 block of Ames Street, NE. One individual sustained injuries during the incident.
According to court documents, Rorie instructed an unknown individual to pull the trigger and shoot the victim, who sustained a gunshot wound to the arm.
Judge Kravitz previously released Rorie to home confinement with GPS monitoring on Oct. 10. According to her Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) officer, she has since received one infraction for leaving her home to go to the grocery store without previous approval from her case manager, but has otherwise remained compliant.
At the hearing, her defense attorney Michael Lawlor was unable to appear, and Matthew Davies stood in as the defense. Davies told Judge Kravitz that he wished to discuss the removal of Rorie’s GPS monitor.
Judge Kravitz requested that Lawlor file a written motion, given that stand-in prosecution and defense counsel were present at the hearing.
Rorie was assured by Judge Kravitz that he would rule soon after the motion was filed, but said he was not prepared to make a ruling at that time. Rorie was visibly upset about the judge’s decision to delay his ruling.
Parties are slated to reconvene Feb. 13, 2026.
