With prosecution witnesses lined up, the long-awaited elections fraud trial was further held up yesterday after attorney at law, Nigel Hughes requested a short adjournment for the review of the admissibility of Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) minutes.
He told Magistrate Leron Daly that the non-admission of the GECOM minutes in the court case would not allow for his clients to have a free and fair trial since the evidence that it contains is contradictory. He requested to have a review of them thereby affording his clients Keith Lowenfield and Roxanne Myers the chance at a fair trial.
He said that Section 140 (2) of the Representation of the People Act (ROPA) would not allow his clients the right to a fair trial.
