ACTING Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry yesterday adjourned the trial of one of the assault and threatening language charges against Information and Press Liaison to the President, Kwame Mc Coy. No more witnesses were called but Police Sergeant Denise Griffith-Jacobis asked that the court find the defendant guilty of the offences.
The magistrate said she will give her decision on August 7.
Particulars of one offence said Mc Coy, last November 12, two weeks before the general elections, lashed the virtual complainant Stewart with a firearm in Norton Street, Georgetown.
The allegation is that it happened after Stewart spoke to Mc Coy about posting photographs of presidential candidates.
Mc Coy is also charged with threatening Stewart, by telling him he was a marked man and should watch himself.
Mc Coy faces another charge of assault causing actual bodily harm to Natalie Ross. He is accused of maliciously and unlawfully wounding, hitting the woman with his Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) and rendering her unconscious.
That case will be called, again, on September 19.
