Prosecutor Inspector Phillip Sheriff is presenting the state’s case.
Ramsaran’s lawyers had moved to the high court to have the matter thrown out. The lawyers had stated that after perusing the documents their client is convinced that the prosecution hasn’t established the ingredients of the charge based on the statements that were supplied to the defence.
However that matter was dismissed and the trial continued in the Magistrate’s court.
The Prosecution’s case was conducted by Inspectors Althea Solomon, Bernard Brown and Phillip Sheriff at different stages.
The defence had put forward a no case submission. However this was overruled by the magistrate who ordered that they lead a defence.
Ramsaran’s case has been put down for September 19.
