Earlier this week we told you about Errol Butchy Haynes - who was transferred from Mexican jail to Belizean jail in May. He says he's being held based on a bogus three year conviction that happened when he wasn't here.
He took that to the Supreme Court for redress, and, today, the Chief Justice dismissed his application. The CJ dismissed his application for what is known as "habeas corpus" and advised him to seek judicial review instead.
Today the Government's representative, from the office of the Solicitor General's office Trennia Young and Agassi Finnegan presented their case.
Young who submitted that they were in possession of copy of the magistrate court book, and warrant which shows the reason for his detention and coincides with conviction by the Senior Magistrate.
His Attorney Hubert Elrington says he will try for judicial review.
