Chief Justice Bryan Sykes on Tuesday refused an application by the Director of Public Prosecutions for witnesses in the case against alleged Clansman gang leader Tesha Miller to be allowed to testify via video link.
Prosecutors had filed the application, citing the safety of two key prosecution witnesses.
Mr. Miller’s attorney, Bert Samuels, challenged the application, arguing that neither his client nor anyone related to him posed a threat to any of the witnesses. He asked that the witnesses attend court to be crossed examined.
Justice Sykes said he had no evidence on which to grant the crown’s application.
The matter is set for case management on April 24.
Miller is to stand trial for the 2008 murder of Douglas Chambers, then Managing Director of the Jamaica Urban Transit Company.
Mr Chambers was fatally shot at the bus company’s depot in Spanish Town, St Catherine.
