The High Court on Friday ruled that the length of time the state took to try former accused, Basil Morgan for the 2009 murder of Woodette Roberts, breached his rights to a fair trial within reasonable time.
The ruling was handed down by Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall, who also granted Morgan a total of $500,000 bail on a number of other charges.
As a condition for bail, the judge ordered Morgan to report to the Ruimveldt Police Station every Friday at 10am, except for days he may be required to attend Court.
