No Bail, Meighan Family Remains Remanded
posted (March 15, 2013)
Tonight the entire Meighan family from Banak Street - including mother, daughter and two sons continue to be on remand at the Hattieville Prison after their Supreme Court bail application failed today.

Their attorney Richard Dickie Bradley tried to secure bail, but according to the family's information the DPP's office did not sign the waiver, so it could not be processed. But on a check with the DPP, she said that no application was on her desk and as far as she knows nothing came into her office as yet.

With that, the entire family remains on remand until their next court date April 17th. They can try to apply again next week Friday. As we reported, the GSU found two live and very shiny nine-millimeter rounds in their house on March 6th - and because no one wanted to own up to it, the entire family was imprisoned. The family claims a police unit planted the rounds on a previous search.
