In the interest of justice, the trial of Linton Eastman, Clifton Gibson and Stancy Rodney for the murder of Rubis accountant Jason Cort, was yesterday aborted, owing to a conversation overheard by a witness in the matter.
When the case was called yesterday morning for commencement of the trial, it was reported to Justice Brassington Reynolds that a witness had overheard a conversation at the courthouse the day before.
This was reported to the judge and an inquiry was conducted.
