Overview
- Juvenile court imposed 12 months of probation for the boy and nine months for the girl in the Aug. 3 attack on Edward Coristine, a former DOGE staffer.
- The boy pleaded guilty to attempted robbery and simple assault in the Coristine case plus felony assault and robbery at a nearby gas station, while the girl pleaded to simple assault for pepper-spraying someone at the gas station as her Coristine-related charge was dropped.
- The judge ordered strict conditions, including electronic monitoring, house arrest for the boy, the girl’s placement in a youth shelter, no contact between them, and limits on entering D.C. except for approved reasons.
- Both teens must complete 90 hours of community service; the girl faces weekly drug testing and treatment, and each was told to stay out of cars without the owner’s permission.
- The ruling followed prosecutors’ recommendations and prompted sharp criticism from Trump, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, and Elon Musk, while police say other alleged accomplices remain at large.
