THE trial of a man accused of manslaughter in a 2013 shooting was delayed yesterday after the defendant fell ill.
Jadre “Mice” Evans was seen coughing while wearing a mask, with his head lowered, as he stood in the dock before Justice Guillimina Archer-Minns.
Defence attorney Damien White told the court his client had come down with the flu and requested an adjournment so Evans could seek medical attention.
Evans is accused of causing the shooting death of Sylvester Woodside on November 28, 2013, in Jubilee Gardens.
Justice Archer-Minns told jurors the matter would resume today if the defendant’s condition improves and ordered that Evans be examined by a doctor at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
Gary Rolle, Danielle Capron, and Tabitha Frazer represented the prosecution.
