Defence attorney Adrian Thompson yesterday asked Magistrate Zamilla Ally-Seepaul to find Premnauth Samaroo, Anthony David and Nicholas Narine innocent in the robbery of Justice Nicola Pierre and her family, while arguing that they had not been properly identified.
In his closing arguments yesterday, Thompson told the court that the prosecution did not do its job by proving to the court, beyond a reasonable doubt, that his clients were involved in the attack on Justice Pierre and her husband, Mohamed Chan, between July 8 and July 9, 2015.
He began making his submissions after one of the co-accused, Warren McKenzie, failed to provide the court with another witness as had been expected.
Samaroo, David, Narine, McKenzie and Daymeion Millington are on trial for robbery of the judge and her husband as well as for shooting at security guard Ron Peters.
