Elmer Nah, who was indicted for the triple murders of the Ramnarace family that occurred in Belmopan on December 31st, 2022, has yet to begin trial. And the judge says he is not impressed with the prosecution's response to questions in the Elmer Nah case because his first court order has not been adhered to.
The attorney for the 40 year old ex police officer, Godfrey Smith appeared before Justice Nigel Pilgrim for case management while Nah himself and the attorney for the Crown appeared virtually.
Godfrey Smith pointed out that they had not received the important disclosures they had asked for including the video showing the killer entering the Ramnarace property. Pilgrim then made another court order today informing the Crown that Smith should be given access to the requested items before November 29th. Smith gave more details about today's proceedings.
Godfrey Smith, Attorney
"We're at a very preliminary stage. We're still at the disclosure stage. We're trying to prepare our defence as fully and comprehensively as possible. We have been trying to get a list of ....access to them from the Crown, from the State, and have not been very successful in doing so."
"You would have heard the judge say today that he was not impressed with the Crown's responses and explanations as to why the defence has not been so provided and he set a further date. Well, he asked that by the end of the month, by the 29th November, these things be provided. So, we look forward to receiving that."
Nah and his attorney are due back in court on December 16th.
