Nassau, BAHAMAS- A man accused of plotting to kill a cop attached to the homicide squad has been granted bail.
Prosecutors say Roger Wallace planned the murder of Sergeant Raphael Miller while he was locked up for two murder cases.
Wallace and his co-defendant Aljaron Stubbs are accused of conspiracy to commit murder.
The charge is based on a voice-note that allegedly said, “Officer Miller won’t stop until four rifle man pop up at his door and (expletive deleted) his head.”
In arguing for bail, Cassie Bethel said that the prosecution had no evidence to show that there was a plan or agreement to commit murder.
Additionally, she pointed out that the alleged recording referred to Officer Miller and not Sergeant Raphael Miller.
The prosecution, on the other hand, asserted that Wallace had a tendency to commit crimes.
Noting that Wallace had no prior convictions and was presumed innocent, Justice Camille Darville-Gomez set his bail at $30,000.
Wallace has to wear an ankle bracelet, keep a curfew and sign in a a police station three times a week. He’s also prohibited from contacting prosecution witnesses directly or through his agents.
