City Magistrate Judy Latchman will rule tomorrow on whether Wayne Griffith and Andrew Blackman, the two men accused of stealing almost $9 million during an armed attack on the Ramada Princess Hotel casino in April last year, are guilty of the crime.
During the resumption of the matter before the Principal Magistrate on Friday, closing submissions were made by defence attorney Stanley Moore.
Subsequent to the attorney’s submissions, police prosecutor Shellon Daniels presented to the court her closing arguments, in which she urged that the defendants be found guilty of the crime.
The charge against the duo states that while being in the company of others and armed with guns, they robbed cashiers of $8,951,000, which was the property of the Princess Casino, on April 29, 2017, at Providence, East Bank Demerara. A third man, Junior Stewart, who had been charged with the crime, was recently freed after the court found that there was insufficient evidence against him.
