Proceedings in the high-profile Klansman gang case were halted on Thursday after concerns emerged that one of the accused may be experiencing a contagious medical condition.
Presiding judge Justice Dale Palmer ordered that all 25 defendants undergo immediate medical evaluation before the trial can continue. The directive followed an alert raised in court by defendant Dr. Paul Robinson, who indicated that, based on his medical background, the symptoms observed in a nearby co-accused were cause for concern.
No details about the suspected illness were disclosed during the session. However, defence attorney Kemar Robinson informed the court that there has been a recent outbreak of the condition at some of the lock-up facilities where the accused are being housed.
The matter is scheduled to resume on Monday at 10 a.m., pending medical clearance.
The group of 25 defendants includes alleged gang leader Tesha Miller. They are charged under anti-gang legislation and are accused of involvement in an organised criminal network operating in St Catherine.
Prosecutors have laid multiple charges, including murder, conspiracy to murder, attempted murder, robbery with aggravation, and illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. All defendants were formally arraigned on Wednesday.
