Chalary’s attorney, Wendel Alexander tells Antigua.News that he wanted to ensure he heard the recording of the camera, moments before the shooting.
While there was no visual of the incident on the camera, the recording was clear enough to have overhead the arguments between the accused and the deceased.
Alexander also confirmed to Antigua.News that on Monday, he advised the court that he visited the cyber lab and was able to hear the discourse and the explosion of that of a firearm and that he was only then quite comfortable that the defendant could plead over and asked the court to have the indictment read to the defendant.
Chalary, this time pleaded guilty to the charges of murder.
