A Jury Deliberates
posted (June 23, 2015)
Tonight, A jury 12 is deliberating in the court of Justice John Gonzalez to see if it can reach a verdict for Daniel Myvett, charged with the murder of Nigerian Security guard Kimaru Olungandudu. The security guard was stabbed 8 times on February 14, 2010, during an attempted robbery at the Biltmore Plaza Hotel.

As we told you, the two other persons, Talbert Mena and Jamal Jackson, who were charged along with Myvett, were acquitted of the charge after their attorneys, Simeon Sampson and Alifa Elrington, submitted that they did not have a case to answer.

The chief witness for the prosecution was Kareem Stevens who was initially charged with the security guard's murder but had agreed to testify for the Crown in exchange for immunity from prosecution.

Stevens was deemed a hostile witness when he took the witness stand and denied that he gave the police a statement. Myvett gave a statement from the dock in which he denied he committed the offence. Myvett is being represented by attorney Alifa Elrington. Crown Sheneiza Smith is representing the Crown.
