District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Kendra D. Briggs on Thursday ordered two 15-year-olds charged with the attempted carjacking and beating of former Department of Government Efficiency staffer Edward “Big Balls” Coristine to be released from the city’s Youth Services Center into less-restrictive supervision. Under the ruling, the girl will move to a youth shelter and the boy to his mother’s home. Both must observe a 24-hour curfew limited to “school and home,” wear electronic ankle monitors, undergo drug testing and avoid contact with each other. Prosecutors opposed the decision, arguing the teenagers pose an ongoing danger. Police say Coristine, 19, was attacked on Aug. 3 after intervening in an attempted vehicle theft in Northwest Washington. The incident galvanized President Donald Trump’s recent decision to place the Metropolitan Police Department under federal control and deploy additional federal officers and National Guard troops in the capital. Juvenile violence remains a pressing concern in Washington; city statistics show minors accounted for 56% of carjackings since 2023. Judge Briggs warned the defendants that any violation of the strict release conditions would trigger an emergency hearing and a possible return to secure detention.
