LEIAL Missick is now a free man after his girlfriend and alleged victim refused to testify against him during his trial.
On Thursday (June 8), in the Grand Turk Supreme Court, Judge Robert Shuster directed the jury to return a verdict of not guilty after Missick’s lawyer, Keith James made a no case submission application to the court.
The no case submission was upheld and the jury was directed to enter not guilty verdicts on all charges.
Missick was charged with causing grievous bodily harm, possession of a firearm and discharging said firearm.
The 22-year-old man was arrested and charged last December with allegedly shooting his girlfriend in Blue Hills, Providenciales.
However, the young lady gave differing testimony when she appeared in the witness box, instead testifying on behalf of the defendant.
