Jury told to enter Not Guilty verdict for Police officer charged for Breach of Trust
Justice John’s decision came following a preliminary hearing where Lenroy Samuel’s attorney Stephen R. Daniel argued that warrants and evidence against his client were improperly obtained by police.
Daniel told the judge that police erred when they obtained warrants to cease Samuel's phone and collect data from a telecommunications provider, including CCTV footage, from the Magistrate’s Court instead of the High Court.
Against this argument being upheld by Justice John, the prosecution led by Senior Crown Counsel Sherman MacNicols said the case could not continue without two key witnesses who would be struck out due to the inadmissible evidence.
Justice John then ordered the jury to return a Not Guilty verdict on both charges against Mr Samuel.
