posted (December 20, 2018)
A man accused of sexually assaulting two minors walked away a free man today after he was found mentally unfit to stand trial. Towards the end of August 2018, 34 year old Daniel Howard of Mahogany Heights was accused of inappropriately touching two minors in a village on the George Price Highway. He was arraigned back in August and was remanded to prison without bail. At his arraignment, Howard's mental stability was called into question. As a result the magistrate ordered a psychiatric evaluation. The evaluation concluded that he was effectively unfit to stand trial. As a result his charges were dropped and he walked home a free man today after spending four months in prison.
