Klansman trial adjourned after defendant tests positive for COVID
KINGSTON, Jamaica – The trial of the 28 remaining alleged members of the Klansman Gang came to a halt Thursday after defendant Stephanie Christie Cole returned a positive COVID-19 test result.
The case has been adjourned until June 13.
Prosecutors had been poised to make their response to the just concluded no case submissions by defence attorneys on Tuesday of this week.
Since the onset of the no case submissions last Thursday, five defendants of the original 33 facing trial since last September have been freed.
