The trial of Lurick Fiffee who is accused of the 2018 killing of his ex-girlfriend Rosemary Rudder, had to be aborted yesterday after one of the jurors realized that he is related to one of the witnesses called by the prosecution.
Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall who was presiding over the trial, noted that in light of the disclosure made by the juror who said that his ability to impartially hear the case may be affected; he would be discharged.
Out of an abundance of caution and moreover underscoring the interest of justice, the Judge discharged the entire panel and informed the accused that he would now have to wait for his trial to commence again before a new panel.
