An 18-year-old who allegedly shot 26 rounds into a Washington, DC, neighborhood while shooting at a car with four people in it has been released prior to trial by a self-confessed “woke” judge.

The Daily Mail reported that the 18-year-old, Amonte Moody, allegedly fired the shots from an AR-15 around 2:30 a.m. on April 22, 2024. He was arrested after it was discovered that doorbell camera footage captured his alleged actions.

On Monday, Judge Lloyd U. Nolan Jr. ruled that Moody be released on bail ahead of his trial.

FOX News reported that Judge Nolan’s “online presence includes examples of progressive activism, including a post boasting about being ‘woke.'”

In one social media post, Nolan indicated he attended a fundraiser which was held to support a professor linked to George Soros.
