AG’s Chambers denies blame for missing evidence in lawyer’s causing death trial

Julian Leitch

The Attorney General’s Chambers yesterday sought to distance itself from the recent dismissal of a causing death by dangerous driving charge against attorney Keisha Chase, who was acquitted due to insufficient evidence after key documents in the case disappeared.

“…We refute any assertion implied or expressed that we are in any way responsible or connected in any form or manner for the disappearance of any statement or booklet in the matter of the Police v Keisha Chase,” the Chambers said in a statement that was issued yesterday.

Magistrate Allan Wilson on January 31st dismissed the charge against Chase, who was on trial for causing the death of a pedestrian, Julian Leitch.
