Herbert denies promising job protection in cannabis trial

Former Goddard Enterprises chairman Charles Herbert denied promising accused Walter Prescod that he could keep his job if he accepted responsibility for packages found aboard a yacht.

Prescod, of Emerald Park East, St Philip, has denied possessing 121.4 kilogrammes of cannabis within Barbados’ territorial waters, importing it and having a traffickable quantity of the illegal substance on July 23, 2018.

Acting Director of Public Prosecutions Alliston Seale SC and acting Senior State Counsel Paul Prescod are representing the State, while defence attorneys Sade Harris and Elan Greenidge represent Prescod.
