Prosecution asked to produce final witnesses or close case against cop accused of bid to pervert justice

John Holder

The prosecution in the trial of John Holder, the policeman who is charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice in the case against attempted murder accused Maryann Daby, was yesterday given a peremptory date to produce its final witnesses or close its case.

Police prosecutor Shellon Daniels had earlier told Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus that there were two witnesses left but they were not present at court. As a result, the peremptory date was given.

This followed the testimony of retired Superintendent Joel David.
