(Jamaica Gleaner) For the first time in 48 years, George Williams had his day in a court of law yesterday.
“The DPP was given such time to find the court file for the case that he is to answer, and this is important towards the result we seek,” Buchanan said after the proceedings.
“Williams has been in prison from before I was born, so one cannot imagine what he has been through,” Buchanan said.
Buchanan said that Williams, 71, was shocked when he heard that he had been summoned to court.
Justice Jackson-Haisley also ordered that a social-enquiry report be done on Williams’ family to ensure that they can provide satisfactory accommodations.
