Well-known entertainment promoter Colin Mack yesterday walked out of the Georgetown High Court a free man, almost 6 years after he was initially charged with raping a 19-year-old girl.
In Justice Navindra Singh’s packed courtroom, Mack was deemed not guilty by a 12-member jury on charges of rape, assault, and abduction. The verdict on all three charges, which came almost five hours after the jury initially retired to deliberate, was unanimous.
At about 11 am yesterday, the jury entered Justice Singh’s courtroom to be briefed on the evidence accrued in a week of testimony. The testimonies of key witnesses, including Mack and the accuser, were also recapped.
At about 11.45 am, the jury retired for the first time and emerged at about 3.20 pm.
