Reputed head of the Spanish Town-based Klansman Gang, Tesha Miller, is to stand trial for murder on Monday for the April 7, 2004 murder of Robert Haughton.
He is also charged with the January 14, 2005 gun-slaying of three persons along Cresser Lane in Braeton, St Catherine and faces the death penalty if convicted.
When Miller's case came up on July 23 this year, the defence attorneys and government prosecutors clashed in the Home Circuit Court over whether he should be released on bail.
Defence attorneys Everton Bird and Valerie Neita Robertson tried to convince Mrs. Justice Gloria Cole-Smith to restore his bail.
They argued that Miller was taken back into custody because of the media hype surrounding the murder of Douglas Chambers, Chairman of the Jamaica Urban Transit Company.
Mr. Douglas was shot and killed in Spanish Town earlier this year.
