Two police constables who were sentenced for the 2008 fatal shooting of Omar Marshall, were on Tuesday offered bail by the Appeal Court.
Gareth Davis and Christobel Smith, who began serving time in January, were each offered bail in the sum of $1 million, pending their appeals.
President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Patrick Brooks, granted bail following an application by Queens Counsels Carolyn Reid-Cameron and Peter Champagnie who are challenging the sentence handed down against the policemen on November 14, 2019.
The cops were convicted of killing Mr. Marshall during a police operation on Blake Road in Kingston.
