A father and son yesterday walked out of a city court free men after a magistrate found that police had failed to make a case against them on a charge of possession of a little over 10 pounds of cannabis.
Orin Battersfield, and Quincy Charles were on trial before Magistrate Faith McGusty on a charge which alleged that on November 19th, 2018, at North Ruimveldt Squatting Area, they had in their possession 4.55 kilogrammes (equivalent to just over 10 pounds) of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking.
Magistrate McGusty yesterday handed down her decision on a no-case submission that was made on behalf of the men by their lawyer.
