Defence attorney Charles Ramson Jr yesterday said that the prosecution has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that former Guyana Power and Light Inc (GPL) director Carvil Duncan did not receive authorisation to pay himself the $984,900 that he is accused of stealing from the company.
Ramson Jr was at the time presenting his closing arguments to Magistrate Leron Daly at the trial of Duncan, who is charged with the simple larceny of the money from the company.
Duncan is facing a charge that on March 31, 2015, at Georgetown, he stole $984,900, which was property of GPL. Duncan is also facing charges that he and another, on March 31, 2015, at Georgetown, conspired to steal $984,900, which was property of GPL, and that he, along with another conspired to steal $27,757,547 between May 7 and May 8, 2015, which was property of GPL.
