Senior Puisne Judge Marva McIntosh began her summation to the jury yesterday at the trial of 25-year-old Sheldon Pusey, who is charged with the murder of 64-year-old Ambassador Peter King.
Pusey has been on trial in the Home Circuit Court since January 19 for King's murder.
The Crown is alleging that Pusey fatally chopped and stabbed King at his house at 11A Waterloo Road, St Andrew, between March 19 and 20, 2006.
Pusey said in his defence that he went to King about a job. He said King was forcing him to be intimate with him and he stabbed him. The judge, in her summation, told the 12-member jury not to have any sympathy for King or Pusey.
Sole judges
She told the jurors that they were the sole judges of the fact and they had to examine the evidence presented by the prosecution and arrive at a verdict.
The judge will continue her summation when the trial resumes today.
