A serious instance of prosecutorial misconduct was not enough to derail the trial of two men accused of the brutal murder of Sean Luke.
Delivering a 22-page decision yesterday afternoon, High Court Judge Lisa Ramsumair-Hinds dismissed an application for a permanent stay of the case, which was based on the fact that the assigned prosecutor had represented one of accused men briefly before joining the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
