Two men accused of serious offenses were acquitted yesterday after the prosecution offered no further evidence against them.
Alex Williams appeared before Justice Roy Jones for the start of his armed robbery trial.  Prosecutors alleged that he robbed Asue Draw of $34,490 on December 12, 2010.
However, the complainants were no longer interested in continuing with the case so Darnell Dorsette, the prosecutor, was obliged to close her case without calling any witnesses.
As a result, Jones directed the jury to return a unanimous acquittal.
Craig Davis also appeared before Jones on two counts of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, and one count of causing harm.
Prosecutors alleged that Davis shot at Eric Fosil and Nelsie Nelson between March 29 and March 30, 2011, and he caused harm to Bernes Nelson at the same time.
The alleged victim testified under oath that they did not want to pursue the matter, so Dorsette closed her case without leading any evidence.
Jones ordered the jury to return a not guilty verdict in the case.
