A San Raphael man was discharged of a robbery with aggravation charge on the same day his trial was scheduled to begin, after his alleged victim testified that he was not the person who robbed him in 2019.

Rennie Mahadeo, of Brazil Village, appeared before Senior Magistrate Wendy Dougdeen-Bally on September 10.

He was freed after the alleged victim, who had previously indicated he was not interested in pursuing the matter, told the court the man who robbed him was of a different race.
