Decide verdict on evidence, judge tells jury in Ruddock murder trial

JUSTICE Leighton Pusey has implored the seven members of the jury in the Andre Ruddock murder trial not to arrive at a verdict based on anything they have heard outside of court, but, rather, to stick to the evidence.

Pusey began his summation to the jury on Friday morning in the Home Circuit Court, downtown Kingston, after the prosecution and defence teams finished their cases and gave their closing addresses to the jury on Thursday.

Pusey indicated from early that he would not be rushing his summation and spent a couple hours going over some of the evidence which was presented during the trial and gave the jurors instructions on how to approach their decision after some 10 witnesses testified during the trial which began in September.
