A defendant in a shooting case waived his preliminary hearing of the evidence before DC Court Judge Eric Glover on Sept. 15.
Daryle Driver, 40, is charged with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a shooting at the 100 block of Wilmington Place, SE on July 26.
During the hearing, Adam Harris, Driver’s attorney, alerted the court of his intent to waive the preliminary hearing.
According to the prosecution, Driver allegedly fired multiple rounds into the victims’ house. One of the victims was allegedly able to identify Driver to police via photo as the person who shot into their home.
Harris argued that Driver’s prior criminal record includes no violent crimes and that Driver should be permitted release.
The prosecution argued that the nature of the crime is too serious to allow Driver’s release.
Judge Glover sided with the prosecution, and denied the defense’s request for release.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene on Sept. 29.
