Shultz also known as `Blondie’ approached the court through a battery of lawyers led by attorney-at-law Nigel Hughes. She is also seeking damages for false imprisonment from the period September 16, 2007 to July 2, 2009.

Justice William Ramlal directed the jury in Shultz’s trial to return a unanimous verdict of not guilty following no-case submissions by Hughes on Thursday. The judge, in his ruling, had pointed out that no evidence was presented in court to show that Shultz was guilty.

Nero, a 58-year-old hospital porter was fatally wounded in an incident where it was reported that Schultz and other women were involved in an argument.
