The trial of two people accused of defrauding the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has been adjourned until next year.
Stanley Nixon and Valderine Watkins appeared before Supreme Court Justice Roy Jones for the start of their trial yesterday. The pair are accused of stealing $50,000 from the disaster management agency after Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne.
However, the trial did not proceed and Jones adjourned the case to March 18, 2013.
Nixon and Watkins were first arraigned before a magistrate on the accusations in 2008.
Darell Taylor appeared for the Crown. Cheryl Bazard, Dorsey McPhee and Romona Farquharson appeared for the accused.
