Witness Collapses In Court During Gibson Corruption Trial

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – A witness in the Adrian Gibson corruption trial collapsed in court following her testimony in the Supreme Court.

Mynez Cargill-Sherman, a senior manager at the Water and Sewerage Corporation, had just finished testifying. She appeared to be in a daze as the judge admonished her not to discuss her evidence with anyone during the adjournment.

When Senior Justice Cheryl Grant-Thompson asked her if she was okay, Cargill-Sherman replied that she felt nauseated.

Moments later, she fell forward and collapsed. However, she was caught by court personnel before she hit the ground.

Cargill-Sherman was alert as she was carried from the Court by ambulance attendants. Prior to becoming unwell, Cargill-Sherman testified how she was harassed by Elwood Donaldson Jr. the corporation’s then general manager, to process payments for vendors who were awarded maintenance contracts by the corporation.

The case centers around the award of contracts by the Water and Sewerage Corporation, while Gibson served as its executive chairman.

Prosecutors say Gibson illegally received $1.25 million from the contracts.

Gibson is on trial with Donaldson, his cousin Rashae Gibson, Jerome Missick, Peaches Farquharson, and Joann Knowles.
