Madzore's bail ruling postponed for the 8th time
Movement
for Democratic Change (MDC)
December
01, 2011
The bail hearing for Solomon Madzore, the MDC Youth Assembly chairperson
at the High Court was again postponed to Monday after the State
opposed bail claiming that when Madzore was arrested, he was on
the run despite video evidence of Madzore appearing addressing the
public at MDC events held across the country.
The bail hearing
has now been postponed for the eighth time since 16 November 2011.
Madzore is facing false
charges of murdering a police officer in Glen View in May.
Today's
hearing failed to take place in the morning after the State prosecutor,
Edmore Nyazamba did not show up in court forcing Justice Maria Zimba
Dube to move it to her chambers. She however ruled that the matter
should be held in an open court as it was of public interest.
After the State
opposed bail claiming there were no changed circumstances in granting
Madzore bail, the judge ruled that the State prosecutor and the
defence lawyer should file heads of arguments interpreting what
constitutes changed circumstances. The arguments should be filed
at the High Court by end of day tomorrow.
