A bail application for a murder convict who suffers from heart failure and sleep apnea has been adjourned to February 26 to allow his lawyer time to get his medical records.
Attorney Ian Cargill, who represents Andrew "Yogi" Davis, said he needed the medical records to respond to an assertion by Dr. Hastings Johnson that Davis' life had been "prolonged" due to his incarceration.
Court of Appeal President Anita Allen noted that there had to be exceptional circumstances for the court to grant bail after a murder conviction.
She pointed out that the prison had invested in a sleep apnea machine, observing "they seemed to have gone above and beyond".
Davis was convicted of the 1999 murder of Constable Jimmy Ambrose and the attempted murder of Constable Marcian Scott at the now-closed Club Rock nightclub at a third trial on July 25, 2013.
Davis was convicted along with Stephen Stubbs and Clinton "Russ" Evans.
Davis' appeal against his conviction and life sentence faced numerous delays last year because the transcripts of the trial were not ready.
An application for bail pending appeal was filed last month.
His application for bail had to be adjourned in December because he was hospitalized.
Cargill also took exception to a supplemental affidavit from the Office of the Attorney General that alleged that Davis should be denied for the safety of witnesses.
Scott was murdered because he was a prospective witness and another witness was in protective custody.
