A former policeman who spent nearly two decades on the run over the controversial killing of an 18-year-old man has been granted $500,000 bail in the Gun Court.
Morris Lee, 67, was offered bail yesterday on a murder charge stemming from the July 2007 death of Ravin Thompson, who was reportedly shot while being transported to the Kingston Public Hospital in a police service vehicle.
Lee was granted bail following an application by his attorney, Chadwick Berry. Christopher Townsend is also representing the former constable.
