A man who is accused of committing a knife-point robbery was granted $90,000 bail yesterday when he appeared before Magistrate Nyasha Williams-Hatmin at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
Kedis Roden of Linden pleaded not guilty to the charge of robbery under arms when it was read to him.
It is alleged that on November 8, Roden used a knife to rob Javen Morrison of a gold chain and other items all valued $244,000.
The prosecution made no objection to Roden’s bail application and stated that a few of the items were recovered.
The magistrate subsequently granted Roden bail in the sum of $90,000 and ordered him to return to court on December 19.
For a little bit of ganja detained, robbery under arms bailable, not justified!
The guidelines for these bailable offences needs to be looked at, they need to be updated to fit the severity of the crime, and the impact on the cumminity.
Look at this nonsense he get bail for $90000 for robbing someone and Khan who almost kill a man get $20000 bail .Aint this some nonsense? c’mon
This is exactly what I’m talking about, I just blogged on the same subject about magistrates just guessing a bail. I dont think they know what they doing.
