Andy Morrell found not guilty of causing death of Frandy M. Martin Jr
The not guilty verdict was reached by a 9-member jury in the High Court today, Thursday, July 18, 2024.
The tragic boat accident occurred around 6:30pm on Saturday, October 16, 2021, and involved a powerboat named Yeya and a 40-foot Sunseeker yacht named Bayou.
According to reports, the yacht allegedly collided with the small powerboat with about three persons on board, almost cutting the powerboat in half.
Out of the three passengers on the powerboat, Mr Frandy Martin Jr, suffered severe injuries and later died.
Several persons on the Sunseeker yacht also suffered minor injuries, and two reportedly required medical attention.
Morrel denied being @ the wheel
During the trial, Mr Morrell denied being at the wheel at the time of the accident and argued that the Yeya failed to give way.
He said the owner of Bayou and captain, Graham Stanton, had left the wheel to go to the restroom when the accident occurred.
Morrel also said Mr Stanton did not stop to render assistance despite him asking Mr Stanton more than once to go back to see if anyone was injured in the other vessel.
Kings Counsel Sandip Patel prosecuted the case on behalf of the crown, while Kings Counsel Charles Bott was Mr Morrell’s attorney.
More details to follow.

Now what bulls*** I.just read, why was Mr Burrel targeted as he was not the Captain, why was the other guy allowed to leave the country just like that, what *&.kery is.this?
No justice for Frandie as the captain of the wrong boat was prosecuted....
Don’t keep that hatred for white people burning you. There is another Captain that needs to be charged for our friend Frandy’s death, the one on his boat.
It is less clear why she did not prosecute it herself. Did she bring in an English KC to prosecute it because she has lost her nerve in Court or did she want to save herself the embarrassment of losing another case herself. I hear that the English KC expressed severe doubts about whether the prosecution should be continued but the DPP was determined to proceed.
In summary, the DPP has lost yet another case (and three of the four charges were dismissed before the defense started its case because there was simply not enough evidence to allow them to continue).
We really really need to fire the DPP. She is a national embarrassment.
bcz he w**** n got cheddar
Richard DiNapoli, a maritime consultant and former shipmaster from New Jersey, provided critical testimony on Tuesday, July 16, in the High Court. He indicated that the Yeya vessel violated six rules under the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, based on his recreation of the accident from the evidence presented. Including traveling at a speed of 29-30 knots before the collision.
So why wasn't Ray Brewley, the captain of the Yeya (the vessel that Frandie was on) charged???????
Wow meson. All cause he ****** he get away scot free. No justice for Frandy. Sh*t sucks.
About three persons.... really?
Actually, I thought from initial reports there were more people on board (kids?), but somehow the numbers have changed...
Race matters no justice for a b**** local sad sad sad
