2 other men, Leon Weir and Louquan Flowers, also applied for Supreme Court bail today before Justice Adolph Lucas. They are the ones accused of the armed robbery of 45 year old businesswoman Zeneida Allen. She was at an apartment building at 4 Fullers Lane last week when a group of men barged in and snatched a bag with $8,800 in cash.
The pair were remanded on charges of aggravated burglary and wounding, and although Senior Crown Counsel Sheneiza Smith did not object, the judge refused to grant them bail.
Court reports are that police have video surveillance which captures the men committing the crime.
The strength of the evidence against them, and the prevalence of burglaries and theft around this time of the year are the reasons that Justice Lucas gave for his refusal to grant bail. He also ordered that they must be tried on or before March 14 of next year. If that is not done, then they can make another application for Supreme Court bail.
