NASSAU- A man accused of murder has been granted bail with strict conditions after a judge ruled his trial faced a delay.
Ricardo Stubbs, 27, was arrested and charged last February over the shooting death of Jahkeil Armbrister.
Prosecutors allege that Stubbs was one of two gunmen who rushed into Armbrister’s home in Flamingo Gardens on January 23, 2020 and killed him.
In granting bail, Justice Cheryl Grant-Thompson said that Stubbs’ trial set for May 30, 2022 “would likely be vacated” due to delay caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Stubbs has to wear an ankle bracelet and keep a 6pm to 6am curfew as a condition of his $20,000 bail.
Additionally, Stubbs has to surrender his passport and report to a police station three times a week.
Stubbs must surrender to police on the day of his trial.
