The ‘fretting’ Pinny :: Mmegi Online

The expression on Pinny Morupisi’s face was seemingly of a fretted woman who wanted to be strong amidst striking reality that her husband and former top civil servant, Carter Morupisi was beating an about turn to State prison with its filthy conditions.

It was the third time Morupisi was hauled to the State Prison with the initial period being when he served a few hours before his legal team applied for his freedom. He had departed the courtroom bound on handcuffs and leg irons in full view of Pinny and family members. It was painful to his family albeit, it was short-lived and offered the requisite relief to the worried family members. This experience was a bad omen, as Morupisi (Carter) would find himself confronted by the hostile and deplorable conditions at the State prisons that left him desperate for help.

In the second occasion, Morupisi lost his liberty for a period of about one month before the High Court reverted him to the previous suspended sentence (without the custodial sentence of seven years imposed on him by the Court of Appeal (CoA).)
