Judge reserves bail judgment in Glen View murder case
Movement
for Democratic Change (MDC)
June
25, 2012
High Court judge, Justice Chinembiri Bhunu has reserved judgment
in the bail application filed today by 29 MDC members seeking leave
to appeal for bail at the Supreme Court.
The 29 MDC members
facing
false charges of murdering a policeman and public violence in
Glen View, Harare last year were denied bail by Justice Bhunu when
the trial kicked off early this month.
The Judge cited
that there were no exceptional circumstances in the bail application
to show why the accused be granted bail.
They have been
in remand prison since their indictment.
Today in court,
the defence lawyers cited several instances why the 29 members should
be granted bail including that some of the accused had been granted
bail before their indictment for trial but none had breached their
bail conditions.
The State is
opposing the application.
Meanwhile, the
trial of the 29 accused resumes tomorrow with an in loco inspection
in the morning at the scene of the crime at Glen View 3 Shopping
Centre.
