JASON Shepherd, 28, of Lot 133 Vlissengen Road, Georgetown, has been charged with causing the death of Oswald Greaves on November 4. The defendant appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry yesterday and pleaded not guilty to the offence, particulars of which said he drove motorcycle, PE 5488, in a manner dangerous to the public and killed Greaves.
Police Sergeant Lionel Harvey, prosecuting, had no objection to bail but requested that the surety set be substantial.
The Prosecutor said Shepherd was riding on Haley Street and hit the victim, who died four days later, after he failed to stop at an intersection.
Attorney-at-law Mr. Patrice Henry, for the Defence, said he was instructed that Greaves, suddenly, crossed the roadway from behind a post and Shepherd could not have avoided hitting him.
Shepherd was ordered to lodge $200,000 and the case has been transferred to another Court for December 3.
