Hinckson PI…Prosecution makes written submission to Magistrate

Oct 01, 2008 News

As the Preliminary Inquiry into the Oliver Hinckson sedition charge came up yesterday, the defense expressed their utter disgust over the constant delay.
Yesterday the case was called again but once again adjourned to a later date. During the proceeding, which lasted for a few minutes, Special Prosecution Sanjeev Datadin made a written submission to Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson seeking to have extracts from one witness’s diary admitted into evidence. The Magistrate is expected to peruse the document and call the case again next Tuesday.
Meanwhile, according to Hinckson’s lawyers, this is yet another tactic by the prosecution to further delay the case.
During the last court hearing, as Police Corporal Suraj Singh took the stand to give further evidence, the Prosecution tried relentlessly to have extracts from Singh’s diary admitted into evidence.
The defense, however, objected and the magistrate ruled that the evidence which the prosecution is seeking to have admitted into evidence is inadmissible.
In addition, Datadin had asked for leave to prepare his written application, which was submitted yesterday. The matter will be called again on October 7.
Meanwhile, on the issue of bail, the Magistrate had previously said that she would make a ruling after October 9 as the matter will be called again in the High Court.
