A jury yesterday afternoon found Rayon Carter not guilty of a charge of murder, which Justice Jo-Ann Barlow said was not a surprising verdict even as she lamented the need for improvement in the administration of justice.
Following some hours of deliberations, the 12-member panel returned with its unanimous verdict, finding Carter not guilty of the allegation leveled against him by the State, for the 2018 murder of former Kaneville machine operator Ishwar Ramanah.
It had been the second trial faced by Carter. His first ended in a hung jury back in March of last year.
