Blake murder trial continues in Supreme Court
The murder trial of Ornel Welcome Jr. continued today in the Supreme Court before trial Judge John Gonzales. Gonzalez asked the jury to leave the courtroom so a submission can be made by defence counsel, Simeon Sampson. The prosecution counter-argued Sampson’s application and pointed out why the submission should not be upheld. The judge adjourned the trial until Monday, informing the court that he had to think about the best way to handle the subject before he makes a ruling on the matter.
