Over forty-three cases for October Supreme Court session

The October session of the Supreme Court kicked off this morning with over forty-three cases on the calendar. Only Justice Michelle Arana presiding in today’s session. One case that has been highly anticipated is the reappearance of Taedron Bennett and Joseph Kee for the 2006 murder of Phillip and Kevin Brannon. The infamous duo was expected to be re-read a charge of Murder, but their case was not called up and it won’t be heard until Thursday because the long list of murder suspects brought in from the Hattieville Prison were first dealt with. Bennett and Kee were freed of the murder charges in late 2008 because the key witness in the case, Fitzroy Yearwood was unable to testify. But in August of this year, Director of Public Prosecutions Cheryl-Lynn Branker-Taitt served them with subpoenas to reappear in court. One of their attorneys, Richard “Dickie” Bradley says he expects Bennett and Kee to be indicted for the murders on Thursday. Their hearing is only one of nineteen murder charges in the batch of cases for this session. Arthur Young and Errol Haynes appeared in the Supreme Court today in connection with the murder of Calvin Young. Young was fatally stabbed to the neck, head and back on November second 2007 at his apartment on Juliet Soberanis Street. Haynes was charged in 2007 but Young was not detained until June fourth of this year.
