August 13, 2017

Unbearable conditions in the magistrates’ courts forced the adjournment of the trial of a Royal Bahamas Defence Force marine. Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain told Doswell Coakley that his gun, ammunition and counterfeit possession trial could not proceed due to the “inhumane conditions” in the court. The air conditioner in the South Street Magistrates’ Court Complex has not been working for several weeks, forcing courts to adjourn early.
