–?? ?Remains in jail on other mattersA man who allegedly was caught with an illegal arsenal of guns in his possession in September 2010, including two AK 47 assault rifles, an Uzi automatic submachine gun and?a double barrel shotgun, at Adelphi, East Canje, Berbice,?was yesterday freed on a charge of murder, which was purportedly related to one of the high-powered weapons.Timothy Sampson, 25,Cheap Jerseys For Wholesale, of 51 Adelphi New Scheme, had the case against him discharged by Magistrate Fabayo Azore at the Whim Magistrate’s Court after she found that a?prima facie case had not been established. This was following a no case submission put forward by Attorney at Law Mursaline Bacchus.Sampson was on trial for the murder of 47-year-old security guard Arjune Gobind, called Buddy, of 362 Bloomfield, Corentyne,Wholesale China Jerseys, Berbice. The incident allegedly occurred on May 17, 2010, during a daring robbery on the business premises of Surendra Ganesh and his wife Basanti Ganesh of No. 36 Village, Wellington Park, Corentyne.Rajendra Persaud,Cheap Jerseys Wholesale, CEO of the Nand Persaud Group of Companies Limited, was also shot and injured in the melee. The two men had gone to the premises after receiving word of the robbery, and were greeted by rapid gunfire, with one of the bullets striking Gobind in the forehead. He died on his way to the Port Mourant Hospital.Mr. Bacchus in his written submissions stated that the ?prosecution had not made out a prima facie case against his client under Section 65 of the Criminal Law (Procedure) Act, Chapter 10:01,Authentic Jerseys Wholesale, and asked that the accused be discharged.The lawyer stated that the prosecution’s case was wholly based on circumstantial evidence, and “in these circumstances there is only one fact of circumstantial evidence – and that is taking the prosecution’s case at its highest – which is that the accused was found in possession of a gun purportedly used to kill the deceased.”The attorney mentioned that the relevant law in such a circumstance suggests that one such fact is not sufficient to make out a prima facie case.“Moreso in this case where the gun was allegedly found in the possession of the accused in September 2010, when the offence of murder is alleged to have been committed on the 17th?day of May 2010… four months before.”He quoted numerous authorities to support his submissions.Bacchus continued: “in a case of circumstantial evidence, where the primary facts are plainly open to a rational finding of innocence and equally lend themselves to a finding of guilt, the court must uphold a submission of no case to answer and resist any temptation to call for a defence,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, for in such a case, a finding of guilt can only be made by engaging in the merest guesswork between guilt and innocence.? Such an approach is mandated by the principle that, in cases of circumstantial evidence, the inference of guilt must be the only rational inference which can be drawn from the primary facts”.“Your Worship I remind you that you are not a mere note-taker.? You are constrained to make a finding as to whether or not a prima facie case is made out. The function of committal proceedings is to ensure that no one shall stand trial unless a prima facie case has been made out.”After summing up the evidence the magistrate dismissed the case.Sampson however remains in jail,?after being sentenced to two years (in 2011) on a gun and ammunition charge. He is also facing five charges in relation to the aforementioned arsenal. He was jailed for being in possession of arms and ammunition after pleading guilty to the charges which stated that on Thursday?June 9, 2005, at Adelphi Village, East Canje, Berbice he had in his possession one .32 semi-automatic pistol and one .32 live round of ammunition without being the holder of the relevant licences.Meanwhile, the pending charges are that on Tuesday, May 21,Wholesale Jerseys China, 2010, at around 22:00 hrs?at Adelphi Village, Sampson had in his possession two AK 47 assault rifles, one UZI submachine gun and one double barrel shotgun without being the holder of a licence. He was also charged with illegal possession of ammunition, and on the same date, while trying to prevent lawful apprehension by biting police constables Gladwin James and Darrel Ramsey. Those matters are continuing.?(Samuel Whyte)
