Tonight another city youth has walked from a murder at the end of a trial by judge without jury - this one before Supreme Court judge, Justice Troadio John Gonzalez. 24 year old Ronald Bradley, a resident of Mahogany Heights was accused of the October 15, 2010 shooting murder of female Prison Officer, Miriam Gillett. This morning Justice Gonzalez, he upheld a no case submission made by Bradley's attorney, Oscar Selgado.
With that, JUSTICE Gonzalez acquitted Bradley of murder and he was free to leave the court after almost five years on remand.
The sole witness in the prosecution case was the driver Ernest Savery, and even though he was killed before the case was called up for trial - his statement was admitted into evidence. Still Selgado made a no case submission that there was insufficient evidence.
Bradley was accused of shooting and killing Gillett in a daring ambush staged near the prison on the Burrell Boom/Haittieville Road. Gillett was shot in head and died while Savery was also injured.
