Tensions rose yesterday during the trial of the men charged with dousing newspaper columnist and activist Freddie Kissoon with faeces after the complainant requested that the trial magistrate excuse herself from hearing the case.
PPP members Kwame McCoy and Jason Abdulla as well as former bodyguard Shawn Hinds are on trial before Magistrate Judy Latchman for assaulting Kissoon, whom they are accused of dousing with human faeces during an attack in 2010.
When the trial continued yesterday, Kissoon took to the witness stand once more to be cross-examined by defence attorney George Thomas.
