Standing as a surety is a very serious obligation.
So stressed Magistrate Manila Renee as she ordered a sister, who stood as her brother Jabarry Jaziel Grant’s surety, to forfeit part of the $10 000 bail sum when the parties appeared in the District “A” Magistrates’ Court, Cane Garden, St Thomas yesterday.
“You cannot come and stand as a surety and think that it is a very easy thing. It is a very serious obligation,” the magistrate said yesterday.
Grant was later remanded to HMP Dodds after that surety was allowed to withdraw.
