Supreme Court: Cann, Simmons Found Not Guilty

July 9, 2014

The two men charged in the 2009 murder of Gary ‘Fingas’ Cann were found not guilty last night [July 8], with both men declared to go free by presiding judge Justice Carlisle Greaves.

The announcement was made after the jury deliberated and reached a majority verdict, meaning that at least nine members of the panel were in consensus. Both men were found not guilty of the murder as well as related firearm charges.

Applause could be heard in the Court after the verdicts were announced, and both men were declared free to go by Justice Greaves.

Mr. Cann was fatally shot outside a home in Sandys on 15 December 2009.

      Question for the both of you .
      Read very carefully to understand it fully

      1) Did two guys get away with murder ?
      2) Do the police now go back to the starting point and the case is still wide open ?

    Guilty or innocent,I don’t care…but they were found to be innocent..now…over a year in prison in maximum security (23hr lockdown)….now there MUST be compensation for these guys…monetary compensation!this island is shit!I know guys that have been on remand up westgate for over 6 months and then let free because the bps and dpp never had sufficient evidence in the first place…jobs lost,finances in shambles and lives in ruin..the legal system needs to be held acountable for its mistakes and short comings..
