When 20 year old Calvin Young was brutally stabbed to death in his Belama home in November of 2007 – it was a major happening because Young was the son of well known figure James Young. It was even bigger news that the notorious Arthur Young – was accused of the crime; up to then, Arthur Young had been known as an associate of James Young. After the killing, Arthur Young fled the country. He was not charged until 18 months later, in June of 2009 when he was deported from the United States where he had been caught as a fugitive.

The man who said that Arthur Young and Errol Butch Haynes killed Calvin Young is 20 year old Floyd Wade, also known as Floyd Hyde. He was with Calvin Young in his apartment on that night, and was also stabbed in his chest and neck. But while he survived, Calvin Young didn’t have a chance, he was stabbed 25 times.

But today in the Supreme Court, Floyd Hyde told the court that he cannot remember what happened on that night. He was the star witness and without his testimony Crown Counsels Trenia Young and Cecil Ramirez had no choice but to throw in the towel. They entered a nolle pros submission indicating that the prosecution could not proceed further.

With that, Justice Michelle Arana declared that the charge was dismissed and Young and Haynes were free to go. According to our records, this is the second time that Young is getting off a murder charge.
