Michael Ross, the American who was accused of forging a will earlier this year, yesterday saw the charge against him dismissed.
It was alleged that Ross, on March 2nd, 2018, with intent to defraud, forged a declaration purporting to show that same was issued by the Public Trustee’s Office.
Ross, who was on trial before Magistrate Rondell Weaver, learnt that he was freed of the charge after the prosecution failed to prove its case against him.
It was the prosecution’s case that on June 22nd, 2018, Jennifer McCalman reported to the police that a declaration in the matter of the estate of the late Robert Thompson, had a discrepancy; that is to say, a scratch of the name “Brenda Hunte Tudor”, initialed “M.R”— omitting her name from the declaration in order that she may not be part of the said declaration.
