Pascal Smith who had been accused of the 2017 murder of John Houston, was on Friday discharged of the capital offence after Justice Brassington Reynolds upheld a no-case submission in his favour.
The now twenty-nine-year-old Smith called ‘Pop Skull’ had been accused of the charge which alleged that he murdered Houston on May 27th, 2017, at Alexander Street, Georgetown.
At the close of the prosecution’s case, defence attorney Siand Dhurjon made a submission, advancing that the State had failed to prove its case against his client, and it should be withdrawn from the jury.
