Most of them appear to be from outside of DC.
Being that they are charged with felonies, I guess that as a condition of their bond, they are not permitted to leave DC.
However, I bet quite a few of them will jump bond.
no the ones i have looked at in the court documents state
1) Other conditions:: PR PSA BOND, Entry Date: 01/21/2017, Completion Date: , Amended Date:
DO NOT GET REARRESTED IN WASHINGTON D.C. which means according to avvo:
https://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/what-does-this-mean-release-status—pr-psa—867680.html
Personal Recognizance (PR) with Pretrial Services (PSA). This means that there was no money posted for the bond, but the defendant must be monitored by pretrial services. Pretrial services will verify the home address, phone number and employment. Many times they will require curfews, random drug testing, and occasional “check-ins” to be sure the defendant hasn’t left the area.
“However, I bet quite a few of them will jump bond.”
Anything’s possible, but I don’t think so. Once they jump, they lose any claim that their prosecutions are politically motivated...which is about their only hope now. And if they do jump - they go where? Back home, nope - to friends, maybe...as long as their friends don’t mind risking a few decades in jail for harboring them.
They’ll show up, and hope to cut a deal or at least have a chance of appealing.
