Prosecution gets more time to present witness in wounding trial

Samuel Adams

City Magistrate Judy Latchman has given the prosecution more time to present its last witness in the trial of Samuel Adams, who is charged with wounding a BK International Supervisor last December.

Adams’ lawyer, Dexter Todd, appealed to Magistrate Latchman last Friday to order the prosecution to close its case, while noting that he was prepared to make a no-case submission.

He explained that Adams is currently unable to find employment and is on “substantial bail.” As a result, he said he was seeking to have the case thrown out in order for Adams to be able to collect his bail to be able to provide for his family.
