Dr Bruce acquitted in 2007 assault case; Dr Hunter vows appeal

DR Carl Bruce breathed a sigh of relief on Monday after a judge found him not guilty of assault in a case brought by neurosurgeon Dr Roger Hunter nearly two decades ago.

But the verdict has not gone down well with Dr Hunter who maintained that he was physically assaulted by Dr Bruce and said he will be filing an appeal.

“I am very relieved that the judge looked at the evidence and found what we have said all along, that this was a fabrication; that he accepted that. We also think that the complainant should get some help,” Dr Bruce told the Jamaica Observer shortly after emerging from the St Andrew Parish Court.
