A Coroner's jury's finding that Smith's Parish man Calvert Smith was responsible for the death of hotel worker Peggy Lynn Binns will now be forwarded to Attorney General Elliott Mottley.

Mr. Mottley will now have to decide whether Smith, 48, of Club Road, Smith's Parish will be tried in Supreme Court after the Coroner's jury on Monday delivered a verdict of involuntary manslaughter after several days of hearings into Miss Binns' July, 1995 death.

Coroner's officer Sgt. Richard Grant said the file was now being forwarded to the Attorney General " to see what charges, if any, will be preferred with regard to Mr. Smith''.

Miss Binns, a 33-year-old waitress at Pink Beach Club, died on July 20 after a three-vehicle collision on Harrington Sound Road, Smith's Parish.

The jury head from witnesses that on July 20, Smith -- a friend of Miss Binns -- who was travelling west, tried to overtake a truck at high speed on a blind bend and collided head-on with a Toyota car.

With the impact of the first crash, Mr. Smith was thrown from his bike which flipped through the air and landed on Miss Binns who also was riding a motorcycle in a westerly direction.

Due to severe head injuries -- which included a fractured skull that exposed her brain -- Miss Binns died in King Edward VII Memorial Hospital a month-long fight for her life.

After hearing 17 witnesses, Coroner Arthur Hodgson reviewed the evidence that the jurors had heard and reminded them the inquest was "not a trial''.

He told them their primary responsibilities were to decide who was deceased and where, when and how the death occurred.

The seven-person jury found Mr. Smith responsible for the involuntary manslaughter of Miss Binns.

During the inquest, chief investigating officer Insp. Roger Kendall said under cross-examination by the Binns family's lawyer, Richard Horseman, that speeding on a blind corner was "inherently dangerous''.

Mr. Smith denied any recollection of the accident or whether or not he had consumed alcohol or drugs before riding his bike.

He did tell the jury he was close friends with Miss Binns, having known her since 1991.

Miss Binns' sister, Beverly Pitcher, had told the court Miss Binns had two children and was beginning to get her life back together after fighting a drug addiction.

After the jury returned with a verdict, Mr. Hodgson expressed his sympathy to the Binns family. Mr. Smith's lawyer John Cooper also gave condolences on behalf of himself and his client.
