Attorney-at-law Valerie Neita-Robertson was livid when she spoke with the RJR News Centre after word emerged that Kern Spencer and Coleen Wright would be spending another night behind bars, while her client Rodney Chin walked free Thursday afternoon.
The attorney blasted the public service for what she termed a lack of compassion.
"The people who (were) there to bail Kern Spencer and Coleen Wright, called me in deep distress and when I spoke with the Clerk of Court, and you can quote me, she said she is not processing any more bail for the day because the government doesn't pay her to work beyond 3.30 and she is hungry. Now I want to know what type of country we are running that there is no commitment, no compassion," said Mrs. Neita Robertson.
She said the closure of the courts office before the process was completed was indicative of the harsh conditions accused persons and their families face in working through the bail bonds process.
