A man from Talparo has been acquitted of cultivating a multi-million-dollar marijuana plantation in 2011.
It took a nine-member jury before Justice Nalini Singh in the Port-of-Spain High Court less than an hour to deliberate on the case and return with a unanimous not guilty verdict for Duane Caldon.
According to the evidence in the case, Caldon was arrested and charged with marijuana cultivation after police officers raided the plantation at Mendoza Road, Mundo Nuevo, Talparo, on September 26, 2011.
