Freddie Kissoon’s evidence in assault case to remain on record – Magistrate

A city magistrate yesterday ruled that evidence presented by newspaper columnist Freddie Kissoon, will remain on record, during the continuation of the trial of the men charged with dousing him with human faeces.

PPP members Kwame McCoy, and Jason Abdulla, and former bodyguard Shawn Hinds, are charged with assaulting Kissoon, whom they are accused of dousing with human faeces during an attack in 2010.

During yesterday’s court session, trial Magistrate Judy Latchman told the court that she will permit Kissoon’s evidence to remain on the court record as evidence upon affirmation. She noted that Kissoon, during his testimony, had understood what was being asked of him.
