THE  murder trial of Squince Mc Lennon which was the subject  of  a long legal battle  for the  beginning of the trial,  began yesterday  with a  12-member jury being empanelled, before presiding judge Ms. Dawn Gregory.
Squince Mc Lennon, called ‘Killer’ has pleaded not guilty to a charge accusing him with having, on the  11 June,  2001 in the county of Demerara,  murdered Anson Melville called ‘Lepper’.
Leading prosecutor Mrs. Judith Gildharie-Mursalin,  in association with lawyer Miss  Konyo Sandiford, is expected to begin her case today not with the usual opening address but  with a voir-dire (a trial within a trial) instead.
Attorney-at-law, Mr. Basil Williams, is defending.
