Lawyer’s case adjourned

The theft and money laundering trial of attorney-at-law Norman Leroy Lynch has been adjourned until April 25 when jurors hearing the case will resume duty.

The case was called on Friday before Justice Randall Worrell in the No. 2 Supreme Court, but attorneys in the case – prosecutors Senior Crown Counsel Olivia Davis and Crown Counsel Romario Straker, along with Marlon Gordon, Rico Blackman, and Michelle Gibson for the defence – have been addressing legal matters in the absence of the jury.

Lynch is accused of engaging in money laundering in the disposal of $457 634, being the proceeds of crime, between June 22, 2007, and December 21, 2008.

Over the same period, it is also alleged that he stole $407 634, being the proceeds of a FirstCaribbean International Bank cheque made payable to Leroy Lynch and belonging to the estate of Arthur O’Neal Thomas.

The lawyer is further charged with stealing another $50 000 between August 18, 2005, and December 21, 2008, also belonging to Thomas’ estate.

He has denied all the charges.
