And another man who went to court today, and is making the news is 22 year-old Nicholi Rhys. If the name or the face seems familiar, it should. That's because in February of this year, he was acquitted before Chief Justice Kenneth Benjamin in a trial without jury of the most brazen execution of a reputed gang leader – we're talking about the slaying of Andre Trapp, which occurred in June of 2010.
He's been out since then, and after several months now, he's back before the courts.
According to police, Shantel Waight reported to police that while she was on George Street yesterday when Rhys allegedly hit her. She requested court action against him, and as a result, he was charged with harm.
He was arraigned today before Chief Magistrate Smith, who granted him bail of $500. He must return to court on August 15.
