State prosecutor Teshanna Lake is expected to respond to a no-case submission made by the defence in the trial of acting Registrar of Deeds Azeena Baksh, who is accused of fraudulently causing or procuring valuable securities in the total sum of $4.5 million.
Attorney Nigel Hughes last week Monday made a no-case submission on behalf of Baksh. Lake is expected to reply to his submission on February 3rd, 2020, after which Senior Magistrate Leron Daly, who is presiding over the trial, is expected to rule whether or not Baksh is guilty of the offence.
Hughes closed his case in October after the final witness testified on behalf of Baksh.
