Dog Paw firearm trial put off to October 30

The firearm trial of reputed gang leader Christopher ‘Dog Paw’ Linton has been pushed back to October 30.

Linton is before the Gun Court on a charge of illegal possession of a firearm.
When the matter was called up, the court was informed that the prosecution’s witnesses were unavailable.

Linton’s was slapped with the firearm charge after his capture at a house in August Town, St Andrew in January last year.

It’s reported that a joint police-military team had gone to the house to capture Linton, who had eluded several dragnets.

It’s further reported that during a search, a firearm allegedly belonging to Linton was found in a refrigerator.

Linton was subsequently arrested and charged with illegal possession of the firearm.

Supreme Court Judge Marjorie Cole-Smith is trying the case.
