All this week, 7News has been following the murder trial of Nicholi Rhys, who is standing trial without jury for the murder of Andre Trapp in June of 2010.
Today, the Director of Public Prosecutions, Cheryl-Lynn Vidal, called 3 witnesses to testify against Rhys, which included the officer who caught Rhys on the scene, and who claimed to have gotten an alleged confession statement.
As we told you yesterday, that confession statement was thrown out by the Chief Justice.
That officer was allowed to finish up his testimony today, along with the arresting officer, and Dr. Mario Estradabran, who certified the death to be as a consequence of gunshot wounds.
The DDP's has now called 10 witnesses so far, and tomorrow, the court will move to the scene of the crime, and where Trapp's body was discovered.
It will not be a very far move, because as we told you, it happened right in front of the Magistrate's Court.
