‘Devil’ to stand trial

Coa’s attorney, Criston J Williams filed the form yesterday citing irregularities in the testimony of witnesses and inconsistencies in evidence submitted. However, Acting Chief Magistrate Maria Busby Earle-Caddle overruled the no case submission and ruled that based on the testimonies together with evidence gathered that there was sufficient evidence for Coa to stand trial at the Port of Spain High Court. After consulting Williams, Coa said while he was willing to call a witness to the trial to testify in his defence, he would exercise his right to remain silent for the remainder of the proceedings. Coa was arrested and charged in 2015 for the murder of his neighbour and prison superintendent David Millette outside his home in First Caledonia, Morvant.
