CONVICTED child killer Kohfe Goodman filed a constitutional motion in the Supreme Court about the deplorable conditions he faces in prison while serving a 55-year sentence.
Justice Renae McKay heard Goodman’s submissions as he sought relief from what he claims are inhumane living conditions.
In August 2013, Goodman, also known as Edwardo Ferguson, was convicted of murdering 11-year-old Marco Archer in 2011.
His conviction was set aside on appeal, and a retrial was ordered. He was again convicted on May 30, 2017, and was sentenced to 55 years.
Archer’s nude body was found near Goodman’s home a week after the child was reported missing by his family.
Goodman represented himself during yesterday’s proceedings. After the proceedings, he was escorted from the courtroom with a smile on his face.
He will remain incarcerated at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until he returns to court for Justice McKay’s decision on May 24. He is representing himself.

He should be fed like the fatted calf every day and made to sleep on an ants nest every night.

He's actually correct. His punishment is loss of his freedom not a lifetime being subjected to subhumane conditions
We dont have to look any further than a story in today's Tribune about a suspect wrongfully detained and forced to drink sewer water from a broken pipe to hydrate himself. No toilet facilities available to him.
I look past the fact that this is a real slimey scumbag convicted of a crime against a helpless child who made the complaint to the fact that this could be anybody, someone in prison for a minor offence to someone who's innocent and wrongfully imprisoned.Noone should endure these conditions
