Notes of evidence appear to be missing in appeal filed by rape convict

Michael Abrams

Following complaints from defence attorney Glenn Hanoman of vital missing notes of evidence in the appeal filed by Michael Abrams to his conviction for raping and sodomizing a young girl, the Guyana Court of Appeal has ordered the prosecution to make efforts at retrieving the apparent missing pieces.

Acting Chancellor Yonette Cummings-Edwards and Justices of Appeal Dawn Gregory and Rishi Persaud who are presiding over the matter, have all indicated that the intended appeal will proceed no further until the records are in order.
