THE prosecution yesterday closed its case in the trial of former College of the Bahamas employee Chimeka Gibbs over allegations she stole thousands of dollars from the institution by virtue of her employment.
Prosecutor Al-Leecia Delancey indicated to Justice Cheryl Grant-Thompson and the jury that the Crown was closing its case, after calling some 18 witnesses to testify on its behalf.
The matter was adjourned to Tuesday at 10am.
Gibbs is on trial over allegations she stole over $500,000 from COB by reason of her employment at the institution.
It is also alleged she falsified numerous COB direct deposit files, the result of which purported to show she was entitled to over $200,000 in salary payments.
According to court documents, Gibbs served as both a senior clerk and a human resources assistant at the college.
She was arraigned in June 2016. COB transitioned into a university later that year.
Roger Gomez Jr represents Gibbs. Antania Rolle-Taylor is the other attorney on record for the Crown.
