Murder Case Against Dexter Scotland Dismissed After No-Case Submission

6

A High Court judge has dismissed the murder case against Dexter Scotland after upholding a no-case submission, ruling that the prosecution failed to disprove his claim of self-defence in the fatal shooting of Jahfari Isaac.

Justice Ann Marie Smith found the Crown had not established that the killing was unlawful, noting that self-defence had been sufficiently raised by the evidence. The defence argued Scotland shot Isaac after believing he was reaching for a gun.

The judge also cited shortcomings in the prosecution’s case, including the absence of ballistics evidence and unconfirmed gunshot residue findings. The prosecution has indicated it will appeal the ruling.

  2. Another thug will be free too go back and brag on the street corner while bunning a spliff about how he beat the useless Antiguan criminal system.

  5. I am trying to figure out if now we cant get any justice, then no white green navy paper can save us with regards to third country criminals
    The police is the problem?
    The opposition is the problem?
    WE ARE OUR OWN PROBLEM, CLEARLY our INDEPENDENCE is a JOKE
    It’s not a good feeling knowing that criminals are being let go, BLACK LIVES MATTER, who will protect the weak

  6. Soo many young men are being drawn into a life of crime, and the consequences are devastating. Many end up returning to criminal activity, and far too many are seriously injured or lose their lives because violence often leads to more violence. We’ve seen countless examples of so-called gangsters who are now suffering the consequences of that lifestyle, while others are no longer here.

    Parents and guardians, talk to your sons. Pay attention to the company they keep and the choices they make. If your child suddenly has expensive clothes, electronics, or other items they could not afford, ask where they came from. Ignoring the warning signs only makes the problem worse.

    When tragedy strikes, families are left grieving. The best time to intervene is before it reaches that point. Our young people need guidance, discipline, positive role models, and opportunities not a path that leads to prison, violence, or an early grave. Protecting our communities starts at home as well as with effective law enforcement.
