On June 21, the parties met before DC Superior Court Judge Anthony Epstein to request a curfew rather than house arrest in the shooting case involving a co-defendant.
Charles Jeter, 38, and Kevin Sewell, 33, are charged with first-degree murder while armed. Sewell is additionally charged with possession of a weapon during a violent crime. These charges stem from their alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 46-year-old Kevin Robinson on Nov. 30, 2014, in the 600 block of Edgewood Street, NE. Robinson was Sewell’s father.
Both Jeter and Sewell have been released but are under house arrest and GPS monitoring.
Joseph Fay, Sewell’s defense attorney, asked Judge Epstein to grant his client a 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. curfew, which would allow him to leave his home to work and care for his daughter.
Carrie Weletz, Jeter’s defense attorney, requested that her client be granted the same curfew.
According to court documents, Sewell and Robinson had been “at odds” before Robinson’s murder. Sewell allegedly told a witness, “You know how he treated me, brother,” and Robinson deserved it.
Judge Epstein denied the motion, saying that “circumstances have not changed.” He said he would raise the issue again at the parties’ next meeting.
The parties are scheduled to meet again on September 20.
