The accused is indicted for unlawfully killing Michael Rodrigues on September 15, 2002 but Defence Counsel Compton Richardson asked the judge to throw out a caution statement attributed to the prisoner, on the ground that it was not a true copy of the original.

Consequently, Justice Patterson conducted a voir dire (trial within a trial) on the issue, in the absence of the jury, but reserved his ruling.

State Prosecutor Zamilla Ally is to deliver her opening address on the resumption.
