Acting Chief Justice Roxane George SC has ruled that the police had violated the rights of Michelle Miller, when they detained her beyond the 72 hours provided by the Constitution, without applying for an extension of time.
This is according to a press release from Miller’s attorney, Eusi Anderson, who also said that the Judge has awarded his client damages in the sum of $250,000 for the breach of her right to personal liberty.
Anderson in his release said that the Court in its ruling delivered on Monday, specifically declared that the police had breached his client’s constitutional right to protection of her right to personal liberty as provided for in Article 148.
