Court: No More ‘Ankle Bracelets’ Available
In Magistrates Court yesterday [May 7], the Prosecutor said that she had learned that there were no more Electronic Monitoring Devices [EMD] available as all were now in service.
This matter arose as 41-year-old Jason Liburd of Pembroke pleaded not guilty to two charges. The first was that he had burglarized a Smith’s Parish residence in May 2012 stealing items valued over of $9,000; and the second was that he had received stolen goods valued at over $2,000.
The Prosecutor asked that Mr Liburd not be granted bail and cited the non-availability of ankle bracelets/EMD’s as one factor to be considered. The Senior Magistrate rejected defence lawyer Leopold Mill’s request for bail and ordered that he be remanded in custody until he appears for trial.
The EMDs came into use late last year, with the first defendant ordered to wear one on December 22, 2011.
