WITH HANDS outstretched, Marsha Lee Cooke shouted “freedom” as she walked out of the District F Magistrates’ Court last Thursday.

The 30-year-old Jamaican national was found not guilty of assaulting and resisting three police officers at Grantley Adams International Airport on arrival in Barbados on June 28.

She left Barbados yesterday after what she described as a two-month nightmare.

She claimed she was strip-searched twice, accused of bringing drugs into Barbados, beaten, arrested and remanded for 16 days at Dodds Prisons. (MB)
