JUNE 24, 2020: Shouts of "freedom" were heard outside the St Catherine Parish Court today, as 71-year-old George Williams was released from prison after spending close to 50 years behind bars without a trial. With a black eye from a beating on the weekend, Williams was met by family members and supporters. Brother, Aldrin Jones said, the journey will be hard but he is prepared for it.
