A MAN accused of driving an alleged gunman to and from a house at Stockton on the night 61-year-old grandmother Stacey Klimovitch was shot dead later repeatedly cleaned his car, tried more than once to arrange an alibi and organised for a disc containing CCTV footage to be given to an associate "to keep safe", a jury has heard.
Stephen John Garland, now 65, on Tuesday pleaded not guilty to murder and being an accessory after the fact to murder over the death of Mrs Klimovitch and faced the first day of an estimated four-week trial in Newcastle Supreme Court.
