It's usually his clients who throw themselves on the mercy of the courts, but today Attorney Lynden Jones came just short of that when he apologized profusely to the Chief Magistrate for some funny business that happened in her courtroom two weeks ago.
Jones appeared before here where he said he was appearing to drop the charges brought by Aaron Flowers against Inspector Christopher Martinez.
But Martinez never retained him and never instructed him to do that.
So why did he do it? That's what the Chief Magistrate asked him very pointedly in open court today. She summoned him there to explain why he did what he did.
Jones admitted that he had acted without proper instructions, called it a learning experience and apologized to the court and the DPP.
We spoke to Aaron Flowers briefly outside the courtroom:
THE MATTER HAS BEEN SET FOR A July 8th trial….
