Viewers may remember that at around 3 a.m. on December 26, 2008, Trapp had his blue Toyota Camry parked outside the Princess Hotel and Casino on Newtown Barracks.

That's around the time when Blease was fleeing from a gunman who was chasing him, and he jumped into Trapp's vehicle only to have the gunman follow him immediately.

Trapp, realizing the danger he was in, tried to drive away, but that gunman opened fire on the vehicle, and shot him in the back of his head. He died instantly, and this caused the vehicle to crash into a concrete wall.

2 of those bullets from the barrage of shots caught Blease in the chest and hand, and immediately after the gunman inflicted the injuries, he fled the scene.

Blease was rushed to the KHMH, where he was put into an induced coma, until he later passed away from that injury to the chest 10 days later.

Well, Shaquille Jones, who has been incarcerated from December 2008, stood trial for their murders in which the prosecutors, Kayshia Grant and Leroy Banner, called 6 witnesses to testify against him.

They had no eyewitness to give evidence against Jones, so they relied heavily on a caution statement that Blease allegedly gave while on his hospital bed before he died. In that statement, he allegedly named Jones as the gunman.

Two police officers came to court to testify to this statement that they recorded from Blease, and when the prosecution closed its case, Jones' attorney, Arthur Saldivar, made a no case submission to the court. He said that there was no evidence which linked his client to the crimes he was being accused off.

After considering the entire case before him, Justice Gonzalez upheld Saldivar's submission, and directed a jury of 12 to return a mandatory verdict of not guilty.
