Judge allows DNA evidence in Sean Luke murder trial
Sean Luke -
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) evidence will form part of the prosecution’s case against the two men indicted for the murder of six-year-old Sean Luke in 2006.
Opposition to the admission of the DNA evidence came from one of the men charged with the boy’s murder in the form of a motion to stay the indictment against him because of the delay by the State to disclose the evidence, but this was shot down by the judge presiding over the trial.
On Wednesday, Justice Lisa Ramsumair-Hinds ruled she did not agree that Akeel Mitchell would not receive a fair trial as his attorneys had argued on Monday. Mitchell’s co-accused, Richard Chatoo did not object to the evidence being led.
