Justice After 50 Years: John Clarke Leads Landmark Victory for George Williams.
In a landmark judgment delivered on 26 June 2025, the Supreme Court of Jamaica awarded damages to George Williams, a mentally ill individual who had been detained for fifty years without trial. The court found that Mr Williams’ constitutional rights, including the right to due process, a fair hearing, and protection from inhuman and degrading treatment, were breached. Mr John Clarke, Attorney‑at‑Law and lead counsel in the matter, successfully contended that the State failed in its duty to conduct periodic assessments of Mr Williams’ mental fitness and to ensure a timely trial. The judgment not only provides long overdue redress but also sets important legal precedent regarding the treatment of mentally ill detainees within Jamaica’s criminal justice system.
