We're used to murder trials taking five or six years to come up for trial - often resulting in acquittals because witnesses disappear, lose their courage, or their memory.
But, the court rules have changed to ensure speedier trials - and that was proved today when Twenty-five year old Kashief Gallego was committed to stand trial in the April session of the Supreme Court, a mere 10 months after he allegedly killed 36 year old Jermaine Franklin.
The East Canal resident allegedly stalked and fatally shot Franklin while he was looking at some DVD's at Teddy's Music Store on King Street.
His committal proceeding was held today before Senior Magistrate Aretha Ford. It includes a caution statement from Gallego. Before being committed, Gallego was asked if he had any alibi witness or witnesses he wished to call. He submitted the names two witnesses.
