<p class="mol-para-with-font">But when the pandemic hit, Bouaichi&#8217;s lawyer argued that the virus was a danger to both them and to their client as he awaited trial.<br />
On April 9, Circuit Court Judge Nolan Dawkins released Bouaichi on $25,000, on the condition he only leave his home in Maryland to meet with lawyers or pretrials services officials.<br />
<span style="color: var(--color-text); font-size: 1rem;">Alexandria prosecutors had argued against the release.<br />
</span><span style="color: var(--color-text); font-size: 1rem;">In their motion&#8217;s, Bouaichi&#8217;s lawyers argued that &#8216;social distancing and proper disinfecting measures are impossible while incarcerated&#8230; Simply put, the risk of contracting Covid-19 in a jail is exceedingly obvious.&#8217;<br />
</span><span style="color: var(--color-text); font-size: 1rem;">Manuel Leiva and Frank Salvato, his lawyers, also said that they were at risk while visiting their client in jail. They added that the contact visit would &#8216;also expose themselves to contaminated air and surfaces.&#8217;<br />
</span><span style="color: var(--color-text); font-size: 1rem;">Pertaining to the killing, the lawyers said that they were &#8216;certainly saddened by the tragedy both families have suffered here.&#8217;<br />
</span><span style="color: var(--color-text); font-size: 1rem;">They added that they &#8216;were looking forward to trial. Unfortunately the pandemic continued the trial date by several months and we didn&#8217;t get the chance to put forth our case.&#8217;<br />
</span><span style="color: var(--color-text); font-size: 1rem;">Bouaichi did have another run in with the law prior to the shooting, when in May he was arrested by Greenbelt police in Prince George&#8217;s County, after they received a holdup alarm at a Wendy&#8217;s restaurant.<br />
</span><span style="color: var(--color-text); font-size: 1rem;">Responding officers say Bouaichi was acting strangely in the drive-thru and became uncooperative with police.<br />
</span><span style="color: var(--color-text); font-size: 1rem;">He was arrested and charged with two count of first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault, harming a law enforcement dog, resisting arrest, driving while intoxicated and multiple traffic charges.<br />
</span><span style="color: var(--color-text); font-size: 1rem;">He was released from Maryland jail on May 11, with Alexandria officials saying that they would have revoked his bond had they known about the incident.<br />
</span><span style="color: var(--color-text); font-size: 1rem;">A </span><a class="class" style="font-size: 1rem;" href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/karla-elizabeth-dominguez" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener">GoFundMe</a><span style="color: var(--color-text); font-size: 1rem;"> was made for Dominguez, whose entire family lives in Venezuela. </span></p>
