A PROMINENT DEFENCE ATTORNEY lit a fire under the office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) yesterday, complaining that her client had been remanded on a murder charge for three years, with no word on when his file would be ready to allow the case to start.
While many in the society, including “politicians”, were complaining about murder accused being granted bail, said Angella Mitchell-Gittens, it was “neither right nor fair” that three years after being charged an individual could be sitting in Dodds Prison with no idea when his file would be ready.
Mitchell-Gittens said it was now becoming a joke that her client, Kobia Jamal Robinson, was on remand without sight of a prosecution file.
Robinson, 28, of Reed Street, Bridgetown, is accused of murdering Robert Rupert Jones on October 5, 2013. (TKS)
