Attorney Keisha Chase
Waldron informed the court, yesterday, that he will make a request to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to have this done. He said that if the DPP refuses
, he will move to the High Court.
It is alleged that on November 10, last at Duncan Street, Georgetown, Chase drove motorcar PRR 8181 in a manner dangerous to the public and caused the death of Julian Leitch, 47, of Lot ‘C’ Lama Avenue, Bel Air Park.
Magistrate Wilson adjourned the matter until July 12, for reports.
It was reported that the now dead man had left his home to see the annual Diwali Motorcade. The police in a statement had said that the driver of the car was proceeding at a normal rate of speed. It said that the driver suddenly saw the pedestrian in the centre of the road in front of her car. Because of the closeness, he was struck down.
Chase is reported to have rushed the injured man to the hospital after the accident. The man succumbed to his injuries at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Chase is currently out on bail.
