The prosecution will make a special measures application to get the court's permission to have two witnesses testify via video link when reputed leader of the Spanish Town-based Clansman gang Tesha Miller is expected to face the court. A trial date has not yet been set.
The prosecution is expected to make this application on March 19, 2019.
Miller is charged with accessory before and after the fact to murder of then managing director of the Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC), Douglas Chambers, at the company's complex in Spanish Town on April 27, 2008.
The allegations are that Miller was present at a meeting where Chambers was accused of giving money to a man called Richie and not to them. At the meeting, Miller allegedly gave permission to Andre Bryan, also known as 'Blackman', to kill Chambers.
Yesterday, attorney Bert Samuels, who is representing Miller, made an unsuccessful bail application before presiding judge Chief Justice Bryan Sykes.
Miller is said to have travelled to the United States using the name Olly Kirkland and stayed there for two years, after absconding bail in Jamaica. He was subsequently deported. He was also deported from Bahamas, having travelled there using the name Marlon Williams.
With that revelation, Justice Sykes said that he sees what Miller did as "immigration fraud, identity theft and deception". He further stated that his motives would be "to seek, to lie, to forge".
However, Samuels asserted that his client concealed his true identity to get travel documents due to the rumors associated with his real name.
He also said that the prosecution's case was weak and that they were selectively prosecuting his client.
