Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry is to decide on whether a senior army officer is to take the stand again against treason accused Leonard Wharton, Major Bruce Munroe and Carol-Ann Munroe.The matter continued yesterday with submissions being made by the defence and the prosecution in connection to having the testimony of Army Lieutenant Colonel Sydney James re-opened.James is one of the prosecution’s witnesses,Cheap NFL Jerseys, and has already testified on numerous occasions. He was identified as a member of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and would have received certain information alleging that the three accused were conspiring to overthrow the Guyana Government.James had brought that information and material to the court which had initially contributed to the arrest and the prosecution of the Munroes and Wharton.State-appointed prosecutor,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, Defence Attorney Vic Puran, had asked for James to return to the stand so that he could make connections with the tape recordings he would have provided the court as evidence in the matter.Defence Counsel Nigel Hughes first made his submission against the prosecution request to have James reappear to present evidence. He is representing the three accused.Puran then made his submission stating the grounds on which James should reappear to give his evidence.Speaking with reporters yesterday,Wholesale Jerseys, Puran said that the defence had claimed that the tapes being heard in court were not the original of the recordings.In rebuttal, Puran said he is willing to show that the tapes served to the court were original by playing the original recordings. Puran said the original tapes were never played in court which was an oversight; nevertheless he needs James to return to the stand to testify and show that what he presented at the hearings was accurate, as the copies would entail the contents of the original tapes.In the prosecution application for the witness’s return, Hughes felt that it was unacceptable for the prosecution to ask the court for delayed time. He said that the treason matter had already been delayed for three months during the 13-month hearing following the Director of Public Prosecutions Shalimar Hack’s leave of absence.He even mentioned that such a defence request was in violation of the rights of the accused. He took a stand on the grounds of prejudice and indirectly claimed that the accused were being treated unfairly.He said that by law the accused were promised a fair and timely hearing into their matter and still the matter is plagued by numerous delays.Hughes claimed that Puran is saying that the copies of the tapes released to the court are not faithful representations of the originals, but this he said had to be revealed to the court a long time ago. Hughes argued that the prosecution had a right to inform the court of the inconsistency of the tapes if they knew that what the court was listening too were not the originals.Puran lashed back, recalling that on his first day after taking over from the DPP, he argued that the material the tapes were being played on was not suitable.Puran,Discount NFL Jerseys, only a few days ago, assumed the post of prosecutor,Cheap NFL Jerseys, and on his first day refused the set up on which the tapes of the prosecution were being played. He pointed to his initial dismissal of the device and yesterday when asked what he had proposed should be used to hear the tapes, claimed that he wished not to change the device but he would simply add more speakers to the set-up.The treason prosecutor said he would listen to the tapes with added speakers and he would turn down the volume for a better surround effect which would possibly wipe out background noises.Crediting his submission to have James return,Wholesale Jerseys, Puran said that treason is the highest crime in the land and he strongly felt that the original tapes should be played.The submissions of the opposing sides were taken into consideration by the court and it will be decided whether James should return for his testimony to be re-opened.In the meantime Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Simeon Reid is on the stand. The policeman will return on the next occasion to continue being led by the prosecution.The law agent had been playing an integral part in the treason matter, working closely with the prosecution in handling the evidence produced against the accused.The matter will continue today.
