NASSAU- Double murder accused Lloyd Minnis is back in custody after a magistrate revoked his bail on gun and drug charges.
Senior Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans wasn’t aware that Minnis was on bail for the 2017 murders of eight-year-old Eugene Woodside and Dennis Moss when he appeared before her last week.
The child’s heartbroken mom criticised the court system in a Facebook live video after Bahamas Court News revealed exclusively how Minnis was freed on bail once again.
A judge first granted 29-year-old Minnis $50,000 bail for the murders in March 2018. But he cut off his ankle bracelet and authorities lost track of him for four months.
As a result of his brazen bail breach, the judge revoked Minnis’ bail in December 2018.
However, prosecutors still haven’t tried Minnis for the murders. Prosecutors allege that Eugene was killed by a stray bullet while Minnis shot at Moss, his intended target.
As a result of the delay, the judge lowered Minnis’ bail to $20,000. Once again, he had to wear an ankle bracelet pending trial.
Minnis appeared before Senior Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans on the latest charges on October 7.
Prosecutors allege that Minnis, his girlfriend, Antoinette McPhee, and Lavandro Paul, were found in possession of a Glock 21 pistol, a Mossberg shotgun, nine rounds of .40 ammunition, six shotgun shells and the marijuana.
They all pleaded not guilty. McPhee is now the only defendant in the case on bail. As a condition of her $17,000 bail, she’s outfitted with ankle bracelets until the conclusion on their trial that is set to begin on December 9.
However, Paul and Minnis can apply for bail in the Supreme Court.
