Notable cases
A notable case on this page needs to be updated.
Adrian Fenty contempt case
Judge Hogan is the presiding judge in a long-standing case over Washington, D.C.'s handling of its child welfare agency. On April 6, 2010, Judge Hogan found Washington, D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty in contempt of court after ruling that the city did not improve its handling of abused and neglected children. The Attorney General for the District of Columbia is planning to appeal the ruling to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals[6].
Ruling on Guantanamo Bay detainee
In January 2010, Hogan attracted national attention when he tossed out most of the government's evidence against Musa'ab Omar Al Madhwani, a terrorism detainee, on the grounds his confessions were coerced before he became a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay. Hogan also said the government failed to establish that 23 statements the detainee made to interrogators at Guantanamo Bay were untainted by the earlier coerced statements made while he was held in Afghanistan.[7]
