Some context I cannot immediately locate- what percentage of cases involving similar conduct result in this type of pre-trial release?

I'd love the data, but anecdotally it seems fairly common for even murder suspects to be released on bail?

My question is whether this case is substantially different than results in other cases, which would mean we have an anomaly to investigate involving this judge. Alternatively, if this type of result is common, we are investigating the system as a whole.

Indeed, it's sadly common for attempted or successful murderers to be released on bail, and then assault or attempt (and sometimes succeed) murder again.

Witnesses won’t just kill themselves.

That's illegal. It's the called witness tampering.

NP but all the perpetrator will get is a second ankle monitor right? Because spraying bullets at cars is illegal too. When there are no consequences for one violent crime who cares if you commit another?

GPS is a joke, it is only monitored during business hours. It's also easy to tamper with it or remove it.

Tampering with the ankle monitor is a crime.

No one could possibly be unhinged enough to commit anither crime while out on bail for another crime.

I don’t understand what being “woke” has to do with following the law.

Are you suggesting he should be held without bail? In what grounds? Why do you hate America and our justice system?

DC effectively doesn't have money bail and hasn't since the early 90s. The options are release with conditions or a hold. He was released with conditions (house arrest with an ankle monitor). Legally, he could be held in DC on the basis of having been charged with a crime of violence, if the judge didn't believe that any combination of pretrial conditions would ensure both that he would appear for trial and community safety.

He is still presumed innocent until proven guilty and he still has constitutional rights despite a lot of “anti-woke” (meaning anti-America) demands. People who whine about wokeness are seriously the worst people who hate this country and its basic tenets.

Just like Trump, right? Lol!

Vote Republican. Duh.

Oh, hell no. Today's Republicans all hate America and everything it stands for. They staged a violent insurrection and tried to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power. They're hell bent on stripping away our rights. Screw that. Vote blue, no matter who.

Once again.......YOU voted for this. You want changes and improvement, but keep voting the same way, despite one party clearly wanting to push law and order hard, but that's not good enough for you. Next shootings in DC (sadly will be in the next 24 hrs)...go to the crime scene, and tell everyone you dont want to vote in people that will do a cleanup.

The judge is federally appointed. DC voters didn't vote for him.

Does anyone know who appointed him?

Judges are appointed by the DC Judicial Nomination Commission who members are appointed by:

- President of the United States (1 lawyer member)
- Mayor of the District of Columbia (2 members, one must be a non-lawyer)
- District of Columbia Council (1 non-lawyer member)
- Chief Judge, US District Court for the District of Columbia (federal judge)
- DC Bar (2 lawyer members)

Thank you. So the District played a role. And who was the appointing president?

The commission simply makes nominations. The judge in this case is a magistrate judge. Magistrate judges are not appointed by a President but rather the Chief Judge. As another poster has said, the Chief Judge who made the appointment is Lee F. Satterfield. Satterfield himself is a George H.W. Bush nominee (confirmed by the Senate).
