The trial of businessman Patrick Powell who allegedly failed to hand over his licensed firearm to the police following the shooting death of Kingston College student Khajeel Mais in 2011 failed to get underway this morning.The matter was postponed until tomorrow after the court was told that the witnesses were served this morning.
The court was also told that the prosecution intends to call five witnesses. However, only one witness was present in court.
Powell is charged with failing to turn over his licensed firearm.
Powell was charged with murder arising from Mais’ death, but was freed midway through his trial last October after prosecutors opted to offer no further evidence against him.
The trial was set for six days, starting today to June 1, and again between June 13 and 15.
