A judge today dismissed the murder case against Berle Wallace Jr after accepting a no-case submission from defence attorney Wendel Alexander.

Wallace had been charged in the 2022 stabbing death of personal trainer Christopher Smithers outside Pita Pocket Restaurant.

Witness testimony indicated that Smithers initiated the altercation, throwing the first punch before Wallace allegedly retrieved a knife. The prosecution’s case faltered due to insufficient evidence, resulting in Wallace’s acquittal.

  1. Hmmm. Keep ya hands to yourself. In NY that’s self defense. If I couldn’t fight I would carry a weapon as well even tho I mind my business. Ppl think they are your parents just cause u talk

  2. “Witness testimony indicated that Smithers initiated the altercation, throwing the first punch before Wallace allegedly retrieved a knife.”

    NUFF SAID.

  3. Well Christopher hit the man first that’s self defense, eye witness saw Christopher troubling him . Why did they want to lock this man up in the first place

  4. So what if Shuggy has a boat, have you ever asked the PM how he got his yacht, these Lickspittle People really never have anything positive to contribute, have you ever asked the wind bag caretaker why did he try to expedite the clearing of the package at post office

  5. It’s shocking that the accused walks free despite the serious nature of the case. We need better accountability in the justice system.

  6. He feel because he chang up he can go trouble people but buck up inna real gyangsta ting and get the diggeration.

  7. According to most, so if anybody strike me first I can retrieve a weapon and take this person life and our justice system will see it as self defense.
    Our justice system is in a mess! So the fisherman that accidently kill his uncle over a few dollars will be freed and perhaps Asot killer if he can prove he was struck first, should go free.

  8. WHAT-THE-HELL…? …A FISTY PUNCH v …A DEADLY WEAPON- A KNIFE…?

    …REASONABLE FORCE v …EXCESSIVE FORCE…?

    ***

    Either some darn thing was not reported ‘…CORRECTLY’ by this ‘…FAVORITE -UP-TO-DATE NEWSPORTAL,’ or somebody was sipping some ‘…Kine- ah- darn ting’ (Vernacular)-may be ‘…MANGO WHISKY.’

    NEVER ‘SIP’ THAT YET.

    ***
    Will not explain much, but either:

    ***

    FLOUNDERED OR BLUNDERED

    ***
    EITHER:

    (a) ‘…The DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROSECUTIONS (DPP) – ‘…FLOUNDERED: or

    (b) …ADJUDICATOR ‘…JUDICIALLY BLUNDERED.’

    ***

    EARNING THEIR SALARIES

    Barring none, ‘…All ‘DDP’s’ THAT ‘…PROSECUTES’ on behalf of ‘…GENERAL PUBLIC,’ here and abroad, though he seemed to have ‘…STEPPED OUT OF LINE,’ likened to ‘…ADLAI SMITH,’ they shall ‘…ALL EARN THEIR SALARIES.’

    ***

    NOW EXCEPT:

    (i) DEFENCE ATTORNEYS: and

    (ii) Those with ‘…OFFICIAL PROSECUTORIAL DESIGNATIONS- DPP,’ none shall dictate to ‘…TRIAL JUDGES,’ that which shall be:

    (a) ‘…ACCEPTED:’ and

    (b) …That which shall be ‘…REJECTED.’

    ***

    NOTE WELL: …IN NO CASE SUBMISSION

    While the ‘…EVIDENCE ADDUCED,’ shall establish:

    (i) …A ‘…PRIMA FACIE CASE- that is on the ‘…FACE OF THE EVIDENCE,’ the Trial is focused primarily on-LEGAL ARGUMENTS.’

    TRIAL JUDGES SHALL BE SO SATISFIED THAT THERE IS A CASE FOR THE ACCUSED TO ANSWER.

    ***

    THEN:

    If so ‘…RULED BY THE COURT,’ the Accused is then ‘…CALLED TO GO ON THE DEFENCE.’

    ***

    RETALIATION: …NON-DEFENSIVE: …EXCESSIVE FORCE: …INTENTION TO KILL

    In retaliating to a ‘…FIST PUNCH,’ that appeared to have been ‘…USE OF EXCESSIVE FORCE.’ Clearly, an ‘…INTENTION TO KILL.’

    COULD HAVE RETURNED ‘…THREE FISTY PUNCHES.’ …NO CRIME:

    CONSTITUTION ORDER: SECTION 4 (2) (a).

    READ.

    WALK GOOD.

  10. Whats sad is this man has beat a women and put her into the hospital. Also broke into his ex girlfriends home, smashing her window open because she was scared to let him in.
    He hit Chris beer out of his hand before Chris threw the first punch. Walks away to get a knife n comes back n stabs Chris. All good though self defense. This violent man will probably ki!l your family member next

  11. There has to be more to the altercation, than a punch followed by a stab. Wendell Alexander is running circles around his former colleagues in the RPFAB and the DPP with these “no case submissions.”

  12. Totally shocking and horrifying that this man is allowed to roam our streets, unbelievable, I am so very sorry to the victims family, their hearts must be torn to pieces even more after this sad sad news

  13. How can man go free. He has beat women and more. How can one claim self defense when he leaves and comes back with a knife. That was premeditated murder. Wtf wtf wtf

  14. March 1 2022, I just got my son to bed when we received a message asking us to call them about my brother in law Chris, in that moment our lives changed forever. I will never forget the look of shear terror on my husband’s face. I will never forget the sound of my husband dropping to his knees and throwing up. I will never forget seeing my husband just sitting there paralyzed, unable to move or speak. I will never forget seeing my husband helpless because we were so far away. I will never forget the agonizing feelings in the days and weeks after this dreadful call…and here we are years later…and the pain is still there, every day. I will never forget the phone call he made to his mother and the sound of her voice on the other end. I will never forget the moment I had to tell my daughters that their uncle and best friend had died. That day, we not only lost Chris, but I lost a piece of my husband, Travis. He has never been the same since.

    Chris was travis’ best friend and vice versa. They were inseparable, even though we lived in different places, Their connection was like no other. A bond I never seen two brothers have.

    It’s so hard to understand how something like this could happen.. I’ve seen my kids grow up without their Uncle Chris that they were once blessed to have. I lost my best friend. Chris and I would text each other daily, for advice, or everyday stuff. He would send me pictures of his fruits and vegetables he grew. He was so proud. He loved Antigua, he called Antigua his home.

    I remember thinking, this doesn’t happen in real life, only in movies. I still can’t wrap my head around all of this to this day. Our family will never be the same from losing Chris

    I don’t think anyone will be able to understand what our family went through. No one knows how close my husband and his brother Chris were. No one saw the horror in my husband’s face. No one sees the nightmares I have of Chris getting stabbed. No one sees my daughters crying and me trying to comfort them. No one sees my 4-year-old son asking who Uncle Chris was. No one sees his Mom just trying to get through the day without thinking of what happened to her son.

    I hope that no one ever has to go through this, it’s heartbreaking to hear about Nathaniel getting out of Jail.

  15. More is yet to come. There are prospective criminals just waiting to pick up the offer, made by the Lawless Leader, to discard hot firearms after they’ve used them to maim or kill. He is so despicable.

  16. I believe things were left out of this article. To walk away and come back with a weapon and stab someone makes no sense for a no case submission to hold. Something else is missing from this article.

    Also @ RAWLSTON Pompey, I’m sure you have good information to give to the public, however your writing style isn’t comprehensible. Change your writing style please, so that the non legal population can follow. I’m not sure if the legal population can follow what you’re trying to say

  17. Janine Smithers I feel so sorry for your family’s lost ….I’ve never experienced this type of pain however have faith in the Lord . Christopher is not here in body but he is with you in spirit .. God will see you through. I am not sure what exactly happened something between your bro inlaw and the next guy … your family will get justice
