Judge Kendra Davis Briggs, a Biden-nominated associate judge for the D.C. Superior Court, denied the two Maryland juveniles’ requests for less restrictive detention conditions, according to the Washington Post.
The hearing follows the attack and carjacking targeting Coristine, 19, who goes by “Big Balls”, and Emily Bryant, his “significant other,” according to the filed police report of the incident. The carjacking occurred at 3:01 a.m. on Aug. 3 on the 1400 block of Swann Street NW.
Briggs presided over Monday’s hearing following President Donald Trump’s press conference in which he declared a “crime emergency” in Washington, federalized the Metropolitan Police Department, and mobilized the D.C. National Guard. Trump, who has repeatedly floated threats of federalizing the capital city, amped up his rhetoric against D.C. home rule after the attack against Coristine.
