With objections from the defence firmly on the record, the first of two witnesses recalled by the prosecution in the continuing trial of 25 alleged members of the so-called Tesha Miller faction of the Klansman gang on Tuesday took the stand to help resolve issues surrounding the photograph of a witness who died before the trial began in February this year.

The identification of the woman, Shaniece Roberts, by the two witnesses has been a sticking point in the matter for several weeks now with numerous submissions on the part of both the Crown and the defence as they battled over the document.

The identification of the woman comes in the course of a Section 31 (D) application under the Evidence Act by the Crown to, in effect, introduce a statement provided by Roberts to cops ahead of her demise regarding the Friday, February 7, 2020 murder of a man called Noah Smith at Yarico Place in St Andrew.
