24 year old Everald Sambula, one of three men who was accused of pulling off an armed robbery at Premium Wines and Spirits on Newtown Barracks 6 years ago, walked free from 5 counts of robbery today. That happened after the Crown made an application due to a witness who was fearful to come to court and testify. Justice Candace Nanton had ruled against the crown's application and ordered that the witness must appear in court but after the witness failed to appear, the case was discontinued and Sambula was free to go.
Sambula was accused of robbing 5 persons and the company of over $50,000 among several personal items.
He was the only one who was arrested and charged and his trial was to begin before a jury of 9. He was represented in court by Attorney Leeroy Banner. The other 2 accomplices were never charged.
