Judge Releases Defendant in 12-Year-Old Attempted Murder Case on Bail Prior to Retrial

Thank you for reading Baltimore Witness. Help us continue our mission into 2024.

Following the reversal of his conviction earlier this year, a 40-year-old man is scheduled to have a retrial more than a decade after he was charged with attempted murder. As he waits for the retrial, a judge released the defendant on bail.

Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Philip S. Jackson released Terrance Pevie on electronic home monitoring on April 26 following a bail review hearing.

Pevie is charged with attempted first-degree murder in one case and firearm possession with a felony conviction in another case. Both cases are related to an incident on Aug. 24, 2010, when the defendant allegedly shot a man who was outside in the street with his grandchildren.

Less than a month after the initial incident, the prosecutor said, Pevie was charged with witness intimidation in connection to the shooting for allegedly offering the victim financial compensation.

Defense attorney Roland Harris noted that his client’s original sentence was set to expire in January 2023; however, the details of the sentence were not discussed.

Judge Jackson agreed to release Pevie on electronic home monitoring, citing that he have no contact with the victim.

Pevie, who is scheduled to appear in reception court on June 27, told Judge Jackson he would not regret his decision.
