Akeem Adrian Gittens stepped past his colleagues in the dock, leaving them behind to continue facing a murder charge yesterday.
Gittens had just been set free of murdering teacher Dwight Holder and told he was free to go.
The development came after his attorneys Rita Evans and Ensley Grainger made a successful
no-case submission in the No. 3 Supreme Court.
Akeem Gittens, of Belleview Gap, Station Hill, along with Brandon Damon Joseph, of Beckwith Street; Adrian Antonio Watts, of Windsor Road, Bank Hall; Ayo Prince Bascombe, of Headley Land, Bank Hall; Rasheed Jabar Gittens, of Belleview Gap, Station Hill; Nicholas Ricardo Clarke, of 2nd Avenue, Goddings Road, Station Hill; and Rio Richian Jelani Benn, of Upper Dukes Alley, Vine Street, all in St Michael, along with Kemal Mario Straker, of Clapham Park, Christ Church, had pleaded not guilty to murdering Holder,
a 30-year-old teacher, on August 6, 2015.
Principal State Counsel Neville Watson and Principal State Counsel Romario Straker are prosecuting.
