Rev. Al Miller. It was our decision not to take evidence from Rev. Miller
during the public hearings because, at that time, he was still on trial
for an offence connected to the surrender/capture of Coke. In those

information from CoP Ellington to Coke, we are in no position to state
whether Rev. Miller acted on behalf of the GoJ or any official thereof, in
the absence of testimony from Rev. Miller himself. Similarly, we are
unable to make any finding as to Rev. Miller’s role and function during
the period of Coke’s escape and ultimate surrender/capture. In fact
we cannot report whether Coke surrendered or was captured.
