Shooting co-defendants asked DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park to change their release conditions during a hearing on Jan. 23.
Gerald Jones-Hall, 25, and Jonah Harris, 49, are charged with conspiracy, two counts of assault with intent to kill while armed, two counts of assault with intent to commit robbery while armed, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, robbery while armed, seven counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction greater than a year, and carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business.
The charges stem from their alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting that resulted from an attempted robbery on July 10, 2023 on the 1300 block of Good Hope Road, SE. Two victims sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
At the hearing, Jones-Hall’s attorney, Destiny Fullwood-Singh asked to end his curfew and remove hisGPS because she said the restrictions interfered with his job. Judge Park denied the request due to what he described as the defendant’s “spotty” record, but he extended Jones-Hall’s curfew to accommodate his work schedule.
The prosecution asked for confirmation of Jones-Hall’s work hours and Judge Park asked for verification at the next hearing.
Similarly, Harris’ attorney, Christen Philips, asked for Harris’ GPS to be removed and his curfew canceled due to his compliance with his release conditions. The prosecution did not object and Judge Park granted the request to end Harris’ curfew due to reports of high compliance, but required him to continue wearing the GPS tracker.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene on Sept. 11.
