At least 27 court cases could be affected because of the Government’s inability to pay to have the pathologist involved in the cases return to Jamaica to give evidence.
This was revealed yesterday in court by chief technical director in the Ministry of National Security, Vivian Brown, as he testified in the murder case, which involves four policemen and is underway in the Home Circuit Court.
It was disclosed that the pathologist, who performed the post-mortem examination in 2007 on the body of Andre Thomas, 18, will not be called to testify at the trial.
Brown said the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions made a request for Dr Seetharamaiah Mynedi to come to Jamaica to testify.
However, Brown conveyed that the ministry does not have the $300,000 needed to have the pathologist flown back to the island from India.
Mynedi was on contract with the Government, and has 27 such cases in which he is required to testify.
