KINGSTON, Jamaica – Leoda Bradshaw is now expected to stand trial for the alleged murder of parliamentarian Phillip Paulwell’s 10-month-old daughter Serayah Paulwell and the child’s mother, 27-year-old Toshyna Patterson, after plea bargain negotiations collapsed on Thursday in the Supreme Court.
The breakdown in discussions clears the way for the high-profile case to proceed, with a plea and case management hearing set for June 24 that could determine, among other things, a trial date.
Earlier Thursday, Bradshaw’s legal team indicated her willingness to plead guilty under section 2 (2) of the Offences Against the Person Act, but the parties were unable to come to any agreement.
