JUSTICE Franklyn Holder, one of two judges presiding at the current criminal sessions in Demerara, aborted the murder trial of Odinga Green, called ‘Dingo”, after one of the jurors in the selected panel of 12 became seriously ill over the weekend.

Because of the extent of that juror’s illness, the judge had no alternative  but to abort the trial.
All the remaining jurors are expected to attend court this Thursday (tomorrow), when a new panel is expected to be struck.
Odinga Green, called ‘Dingo’, is indicted for the murder of Nazaleene Mohamed, committed between February 2nd and 12th, 2007.
At the recent hearing, when the panel was struck, the accused, represented by Attorney-at-law Nigel Hughes, pleaded not guilty to the offence.
Mrs. Judith Mursalin, in association with Miss Diana Kaulesar, is prosecuting in this trial.
