Attorney secures bail for client despite lawyers’ no-show

A man who has been in custody since last Monday was finally released on bail yesterday after his attorney-at-law Michael Jordan raised concerns in court that he was charged with an offence that did not apply to the circumstances of the case.

Jordan said his client was driving a motor car when police stopped him and took him into custody.

“In their report they are saying that my client’s car was suspected to have been leading a car, which was reportedly stolen. So they took him to custody for that,” Jordan said. “He was not questioned neither was he put on an identification parade or anything like that.”
