Former Education Minister, Ruel Reid, and President of the Caribbean Maritime University (CMU), Professor Fritz Pinnock, along with their three co-accused, will have to wait until February of next year to learn whether criminal charges against them will be dismissed.
Reid, his wife Sharen and their daughter, Sharelle, along with Pinnock and Brown’s Town Division Councillor, Kim Brown-Lawrence, are facing a number of criminal charges following a corruption probe in relation to the Education Ministry and the CMU.
The five accused appeared in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on Friday, where a ruling was to be made in relation to whether the cases against them should continue.
