Harl Taylor murder trial to begin today By Artesia Davis ~ Guardian Senior Reporter ~ artesia@nasguard.com:
The murder trial of Troyniko McNeil, accused of the murder of handbag designer Harl Taylor, did not begin as scheduled yesterday. Senior Justice Anita Allen ordered the jury panel to return to court today after she explained that she had not concluded another trial that was before her. McNeil, the son of Taylor's business partner Troy McNeil, is accused of fatally stabbing Taylor in an apartment above his design studio at Mountbatten House, West Bay Street. Taylor's body was discovered on November 18, 2007. McNeil has remained in custody since he was deported to The Bahamas from Florida last August, after he overstayed the time permitted by immigration. McNeil's case will be brought to trial in record time — just 10 months after he was charged with the murder on August 18, 2008. Prosecutors sped up the process by foregoing a preliminary hearing in the magistrates' court and sending the case to the Supreme Court by a voluntary bill of indictment. The trial is expected to last three weeks and 27 witnesses are expected to be called.
