JURY POLL
Jamaican judge rules jet hijacking suspect fit to stand trial
DATE: Jun 30, 02:48 PM
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KINGSTON, Jamaica — A judge has ruled that a 21-year-old Jamaican man accused of hijacking a Canadian jetliner on an airport tarmac is mentally fit to stand trial.
Stephen Fray faces six charges, including robbery and assault, in the April 19 hostage standoff aboard a CanJet Airlines plane at Montego Bay’s airport. He is scheduled to stand trial July 13.
The judge issued the ruling Tuesday after a government psychiatrist determined the young man is capable of understanding the charges against him.
Police have previously described Fray as “mentally challenged.”
Fray allegedly fired a handgun into the air, demanded to be flown off the island and took cash from passengers in a six-hour standoff that ended when military commandos burst in and captured him.
