It was the second judicial review of the case. The first judicial review was presided over by one judge.
Last year February, Chief Parish Judge Chester Crooks ruled that the accused had a case to answer.
Reid, Pinnock and their co-accused were arrested in October 2019 under charges of defrauding the Ministry of Education and the Caribbean Maritime University of millions of dollars.
