bail hearing??? keep this exactly where he is.
What do you mean……”in Police custody pending BAIL HEARING.” I just don’t understand the Law in St. Lucia……You don’t just cause the death of someone and be brought before a Judge for bail hearing; what if he can afford a big smart Lawyer who can get him out on bail?????
Criminals with no faces!
Why is he remanded in Police custody pending a bail hearing? for some reason, there is a reason why he was arrested, then why a BAIL hearing? obviously you can detect I’m not with it as far as the Law Courts is concerned; why not cut the B.S. go straight to High Court & let’s deal with it.
Let it was said he came from Marchand or Bruceville with a certain last name we would have known his date of birth.
