The assisting an offender trial of former calypso monarch Aziza Kebret Tsgaye Clarke began in the No. 5 Supreme Court yesterday.
Clarke, of Bonnetts, Brittons Hill, St Michael, was charged that knowing or believing Hakeem Stuart had committed the arrestable offence of murder, she assisted him by transporting him from Briar Hall to Graeme Hall, both in Christ Church – an act intended to impede his lawful apprehension on March 21, 2019.
She is being represented by King’s Counsel Michael Lashley, Senior Counsel Angella Mitchell-Gittens and attorney Sade Harris. Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Krystal Delaney and Senior State Counsel Kevin Forde are prosecuting.
Yesterday, a nine-member jury was selected to hear the evidence. Justice Pamela Beckles is presiding.
