OJ Elrington’s Case Adjourned to End of May  

Attorney Orson ‘OJ’ Elrington returned to court on Wednesday for a matter in which he is accused of sexual assault, stemming from an incident that occurred back in January.  When the matter was called up at nine a.m., Elrington was absent, despite the fact that his attorneys, Senior Counsel Hubert Elrington and Norman Rodriguez were present.  When he arrived half an hour later, Elrington apologized to the court.  DPP Cheryl Lynn Vidal appeared on behalf of the crown and informed the court that she was seeking an adjournment for May thirtieth.  Following the adjournment, attorney Rodriguez spoke with the court reporter.

 

Norman Rodriguez, Attorney-at-law

“Well today was set for the service of disclosure.  The prosecution is not ready with that so Madam DPP requested a short adjournment to the thirtieth of May when the disclosure will be served on us and our client.  That’s basically what happened today in court.  There was no indication but Madam is chief when it comes to prosecution, so she can appear at any time and that is part of the process that we must abide by.  …It’s eight weeks or two months, pursuant to the criminal procedures rules.”
