Jovanda BLACKSON, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES, Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided April 6, 2006.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Nikki Lotze, Riverdale, MD, for appellant.

Elizabeth Trosman, Assistant United States Attorney, with whom Kenneth L. Wainstein, United States Attorney, and Roy W. McLeese III, Jennifer M. Anderson, Valinda Jones and Youli Lee, Assistant United States Attorneys, were on the brief for appellee.

Before SCHWELB and GLICKMAN, Associate Judges, and PRYOR, Senior Judge.


GLICKMAN, Associate Judge:

Jovanda Blackson appealed the trial court's refusal to reconsider her pretrial detention, and the parties filed cross-motions for summary reversal or affirmance. After holding oral argument and determining that we had jurisdiction to hear the appeal and that the record does not support a finding of dangerousness by clear and convincing evidence, we reversed the detention order.
