Article by May 11, 2021
Defence lawyers urged a magistrate on Monday to dismiss charges against a married couple, who allegedly refused quarantine orders, claiming they were charged under the “wrong” law.
Fabian Antone John, 46, and his wife, Vanessa Maylin John, 48, from Kingsland Heights, Christ Church, were reportedly at the centre of an April 26 standoff with public health and law enforcement officials. They each face a charge of refusing to carry out the Chief Medical Officer’s order under
