Minutes after an arrest warrant was issued for Superintendent Gary McAlister, who on the last occasion gave conflicting testimony regarding the Preliminary Inquiry (PI) into the attempted murder charge against Maryann Daby, the warrant was recalled, as the officer showed up and explained the reason for his absence.
The charge against Daby states that on May 13, 2018, at Albert Street and Thomas Lands, Georgetown, with intent to commit murder, she discharged a loaded firearm at Constable 24787, Christopher Kissoon.
The PI into the attempted murder charge against Daby was scheduled to begin at 9 am yesterday and after failing to show up at the scheduled time, Senior Magistrate Leron Daly issued an arrest warrant for McAlister, denying the prosecutor’s request for a five-minute adjournment.
However, minutes after giving an adjournment date for the continuation of the PI, which is scheduled for May 28, 2019, McAlister arrived in the courtroom and explained the reason for his absence, which resulted in the magistrate recalling the warrant.
On May 2, McAlister testified before Magistrate Daly regarding the attempted murder charge against Daby and after a variation in his testimony, he was stopped from proceeding with his evidence and the matter was adjourned to yesterday.
