The trial of a Kingston labourer charged with the murder of attorney-at-law Clover Graham failed to get under way on Wednesday, and has been pushed back to March 8 in the Home Circuit Court.
The new date was set after the court was informed that the accused, Quron Patterson, was still in the hospital. The court was last week informed that the accused had been hospitalised.
Patterson is charged with murder in relation to the August 19, 2014 slaying of the university lecturer, who was found with her throat slashed in bushes near the Caymanas Polo Club in St Catherine.
He was jointly charged with Simeon Lewis and Shannon Campbell, but they have since decided to give evidence for the prosecution.
The Crown is alleging that Graham, who was employed to the Legal Aid Clinic in Kingston, was taken from her home and then murdered.
She also lectured at The University of Technology, Jamaica and the Norman Manley Law School on the Mona campus of The University of the West Indies.
Attorney-at-law Zara Lewis is representing Patterson.
