Witnesses in a high-profile death threat case were no-shows for the trial when two men were accused of making threats against then Bamboo Town parliamentarian Branville McCartney.
Due to the absence of the witnesses, Court No.6 Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans said there would be no further adjournments after October 29, the new date for the trial.
The Magistrate said that the prosecution must bring its case on that date or 35-year-old Mighty Sparticus Moncur and 31-year-old Livingston Bullar Jr would be discharged.
Moncur of Seven Hills and Bullard Jr of Sir Lynden Pindling Estates are accused of making threats on April 28, 2011 to kill McCartney and Dereka Miller.
It is claimed that the men went to McCartney’s law firm and threatened to kill the then-parliamentarian. A threat was also made against Miller, McCartney’s employee.
The two accused were arraigned in Magistrate’s Court a week later on the two counts of threats of death. The case was adjourned to May 16, 2011 for a trial date to be set in Court No.6.
