Accused Robbers Head to Trial Seven Years Later

A case of attempted murder during which Tyrone Scott was robbed and stabbed multiple times in September 2016, is set to begin in April.  Elward McKay and Alexander Bainton have been charged with dangerous harm and robbery stemming from the incident over seven years ago.  But when the duo appeared in the High Court earlier today when the trial was initial scheduled to commence, Bainton decided to challenge the Crown to prove its charge against him.  The matter is being dealt with by Justice Candace Nanton.  While McKay pleaded guilty, his alleged accomplice instead challenged the Crown Counsel, resulting in an adjournment to April fifteenth, 2024.  In the case of McKay, Justice Nanton reoffered bail in the sum of six thousand dollars, plus one surety of the same amount.
