Attorney’s contempt hearing adjourned
A hearing to determine what consequences, if any, an attorney will face regarding his conduct during the murder trial of Kofhe Goodman has been adjourned to December.
Justice Bernard Turner set the November 26 date for the contempt hearing after he sentenced Goodman to death of the September 2011 murder of 11-year-old Marco Archer.
Goodman’s lawyer, Geoffrey Farquharson, was cited for contempt during the trial after he ridiculed the judge in the presence of the jury.
After he was cited, Farquharson shouted and screamed at the judge so loudly he could be heard outside.
According to court staff, the contempt proceedings were delayed at the request of Farquharson who has to leave the jurisdiction.
That matter is now set for December 6.
