A man from east Port-of-Spain has been cleared of shooting at a group of police officers, including now Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander, over two decades ago.
Ken Foster, of Charford Court, was acquitted of several criminal charges at the end of his judge-alone trial before High Court Judge Hayden St Clair-Douglas on Tuesday morning.
Justice St Clair-Douglas found the prosecution had not proven its case beyond reasonable doubt, rejecting the testimony of Alexander and his former colleagues. “Looking at the evidence as a whole, I am not sure the accused shot at anyone. I am not sure he was in possession of a firearm or ammunition,” the judge said.
