Jury still out in murder-for-hire trial



Justice Roy Jones yesterday excused the jury hearing the trial of a woman accused of arranging her husband’s murder.


Prosecutors allege that Renea Sherman, Cordero Bethel and Janaldo Farrington hatched a plan to kill her husband, Stephen.


Bethel and Farrington are charged with Mr. Sherman’s murder and armed robbery as well as the robbery of his juvenile niece.


That plan was allegedly executed on February 17, 2012 when Mr. Sherman, a loan officer at the Royal Bank of Canada, was gunned down outside his home.


Jones told the jurors to return on Wednesday.


Legal discussions began in the jury’s absence on September 17, the second day of the trial.


Sherman is on bail. Her co-defendants remain on remand at Her Majesty’s Prisons.
