One of the men charged in the stabbing death of an American businessman will no longer have to face trial for his death.
That's because the attorney general issued a nolle prosequi, abandoning the case against Robert F. Schwarz of Gaylordsville, Connecticut, who was charged with manslaughter after Carl D. Yerger, a businessman on vacation, was found dead on April 18, 2014 at the Big Game Club Resort & Marina on Bimini.
Both of the accused were granted $35,000 cash bail.
Prosecutors intend to proceed against Tyler Valles of Key Largo, Florida.
But his lawyer, Wayne Munroe QC, raised a constitutional issue before Senior Justice Stephen Isaacs, which prevented the trial from proceeding.
A new trial date will not be fixed until the constitutional motion is determined.
Yerger, 45, was on a fishing trip with Joe Zidik, his friend and business partner, when he was killed.
The two co-owned Custom Milling & Consulting Inc. in Pennsylvania.
According to authorities, Yerger was stabbed after a fight with the two suspects, who were on a private yacht in the resort marina.
Authorities said he repeatedly attempted to board the boat without permission before the fight broke out.
