Princeton George
One of the men charged with the March 9 robbery of the Marigot Credit Union has once again been denied bail.
Princeton George has been on remand at the state prison, and appeared before Magistrate Ossie Lewis on Tuesday morning.
George’s lawyer, Wayne Norde, alleged that his client was being punished before being tried, and reminded the court that the defendant’s offence was a bailable one.
The magistrate however denied his plea on the grounds that neither the money stolen or the ammunition used during the execution of the offence had been recovered by the police.
He also reminded Norde that the defendant was being kept on remand to ensure the security of the populace.
George is being tried along with three other suspects: Jamie Andrew, Michel Azille and Mitchel Joseph.
The trial is set to begin on 13 June, (2012) at Marigot.
Desmond Phillip
Also denied bail on Tuesday, was Desmond Phillip, who was arrested in connection with the alleged kidnapping of Leon “Dopie” Joseph and Deon Hakim Alfred.
The 57 year old pensioner appeared before Magistrate Ossie Lewis.
He told the magistrate “I am being held in prison innocently I do not know anything about those boys.”
Phillip made the comment after being told that bail was closed to him.
Police inspector Michael Laudat told the court that releasing the accused may pervert the course of justice, since the whereabouts of the victims were still unknown.
The alleged kidnapping took place on March 10 (2012).
Four other individuals have already been charged with “unlawfully and forcefully kidnapping” the two.
The four are: Jan Bedminster, Kimon Beaupierre, Dilon Alexander and Shirley Allan.

Boy prinstox better days are coming. Only God can judge you and when judgement day comes you’d be surprised to see the same persons who wanted you to rot in jail will be the onces going to the pit of fire called hell while you’d be forgiven by God for your sins. It your decision at the end of the day. Time flies and so bail or not you must come out jail. Is not anybody you kill. I’ll see you soon my doggy!! Time Flies!!

Desmond Phillip if you are innocent as you are proclaiming, you need to co-operate with the law officials, provide them with whatever info you know, no one can clear you out of that mess but yourself, remaining thigh lip will not get you out

oh SHUT YOUR MOUTH!! they failing themselves by taking part in hat foolishness
Bail denied! denied! denied! That`s good keep them where they belong if investigations are still ongoing. We will call for a bail act till they enact one. Can any one argue once we capture those few bad eggs and put them away crime decreases right away. To be fair they are entitled to have their Lawyers and seek bail but for the greater safety of the majority law abiding citizens and likely witness keep them in Stock Farm. What`s taking so long to enact the bail act??? I hope is not because some persons think it might affect them down the road, I have a funny feeling about that.
Philip at your age, you should be more responsible than that and keep far from these things. Who are you protecting? No one is keeping you inside besides yourself, speak to defend your innocent.
God is good Des. He will see you through. Son is fine
NO BAIL FOR A THIEF …BAIL FOR A MURDERER ….THIS IS DOMINICA …NONE THE LESS I DO NOT CONDONE THEFT..
arguments are not sufficient. NO BAIL!!!
Look at this young man – looks like he is just 19 yet he he is ninto hard core crime. Sad Sad Sad
sad but true, background. kids need structure
Dan Dan ..I hope your backgroud clean while you dre describing people ..hmmnnn
“Check Yourself” it doesn’t matter what dan dan doing behind closed doors for him to observe the NONSENSE that the young man is doing, Let God be the judge of whatever we do in secret, that being said there is nothing wrong with commenting on people’s obvious foolish mistakes!!
where have we gone wrong in d/a it’s time we take back our country back let’s work as one to do so
Wow, now we are starting to get there. Get tougher on them please. The masses had enough with this entire crime spire. Good job officers (police and judicial). Go get em, give them everything you have, the Dominican law abiding citizens are standing firm with you.
Wicked they wicked. NO BAIL!!!!!!
