A no-case submission was on Monday made to the Magis-trate’s Court by attorney Nigel Hughes in the Gary Best death-by-dangerous-driving trial.
The submission was made before Magistrate Rondell Weaver who is presently hearing the matter.
On the next hearing scheduled for November 3, the prosecutor is expected to have prepared a response to the no-case submission.
It is alleged that at approximately 4.31 am on February 8, at Clive Lloyd Drive, Best drove a car, PRR 812, in a manner dangerous to the public, thereby causing the death of Bentley, who had been heading east to Sheriff Street to meet up with a group of cyclists. Best, who was proceeding in the same direction, has alleged that the cyclist suddenly appeared in front of him and that he applied brakes and the right side of the front of his vehicle collided with the cyclist, who fell onto the roadway and sustained injuries.
