Former Guyana Defence Force Chief of Staff, Gary Best was yesterday freed of the Driving under the Influence (DUI) charge brought against him in relation to the death of cyclist Jude Bentley.
Best appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Clive Nurse, who upheld the no-case submission made by his attorneys and consequently dismissed the matter.
Last month, Best’s attorneys were seeking to have the driving-under-the-influence charge brought against him dismissed and had submitted a no-case submission to the court, where they contended that the prosecution lacked substantial evidence to prove the charge instituted against their client.
