The Supreme Court has granted bail to a former police constable accused of murder six months after his arrest.<\/p>\n
Kenneth Gibson, 29, is charged with the stabbing death of George Carey at Lockhart\u2019s Bar on Wulff Road in April.<\/p>\n
Gibson was a serving member of the police force when prosecutors allege that he committed the crime.<\/p>\n
However, the commissioner of police fired him after he was charged with the offense in May.<\/p>\n
Gibson\u2019s lawyer Jomo Campbell applied for bail aurguing that the prosecution\u2019s proposed evidence was weak.<\/p>\n
The Supreme Court set bail at $35,000 with two sureties on Thursday. Gibson was released from custody on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
