As had been expected, Jones Raymond, the man who was freed back in July after spending almost a decade on remand awaiting trial for murder without even being indicted, has brought an action against the State in which he seeking $3M in compensation for what he says is breach of several of his fundamental rights.

Through his battery of attorneys, the man is seeking declarations from the Supreme Court that his fundamental constitutional right to a fair hearing within a reasonable time had been violated by the State.
