Double murder sentencing postponed again

Sat, Feb 1st 2014, 10:10 AM

The sentencing phase of a double murder trial was adjourned for a second time yesterday.
This time the delay in the trial of Serrano Adderley was caused because a psychiatrist's report was not ready.
Last month's postponement was caused by a missing probation report. The sentencing is now set for February 20.
Adderley was unanimously convicted by a Supreme Court jury for the murder of two men on July 11, 2011. The jury accepted evidence that Adderley fatally shot 40-year-old Kevin Forbes and 28-year-old Jamaican Alwayne Leslie at a Haitian shantytown near Montgomery Avenue. Adderley has denied that he was at the scene of the crime, however, the main witness for the prosecution, Shawn Knowles, positively identified the Jamaican as being present at the scene.
Knowles, who is out on bail, is also accused along with another suspect of killing Adderley's girlfriend, who was eight month's pregnant, on July 30, 2011.
The prosecution is seeking the death penalty.
