Less than a month after having to abort the trial of Linton Eastman, Clifton Gibson and Stancy Rodney for the murder of Rubis accountant Jason Cort, Justice Brassington Reynolds had to abort new proceedings yesterday.
The court noted that this time a relative of the deceased who had attended one of the hearings had “innocently” gone into court and waved to the forewoman, whom she knows. This was seen by one of the accused and it was brought to the attention of the judge and an inquiry was conducted.
In the interest of justice, which the court noted must not only be done but equally seen to be done, the presiding judge aborted the trial.
