GT man acquitted of gun charges by jury
(CNS): Adam Marvick Llewellyn (54) walked away from court a free man on Thursday after he was found not guilty on gun charges by a jury following a week-long trial. Llewellyn was charged after police found a gun in a backpack in the bedroom of his house in the Rock Hole area of George Town last May during a search of his home. Police found a .38 revolver and five rounds of ammunition in a pouch inside the bag. Llewellyn admitted the bag was his but denied knowing anything about the gun and said someone had set him up.
During the course of the trial, the jury heard that the police had failed to investigate Llewellyn’s claims or interview potential witnesses that could have corroborated those claims. There were also shortcomings in the inquiry and in how the evidence had been handled, leading to allegations of a contaminated crime scene and a failure of the police to pursue all of the evidence.
Having found the gun in Llewellyn’s bag with some of his personal possessions, including glasses and medication, the police had charged him with possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition on that basis.

His original countryman investigate and present his case. Unna nuh see it? Check fi see where he come from then check fi see where the investigating police come from. Jury can only go by what is presented before them to make a judgement. The police in Cayman need a purging. Too many of one nationality.
Umm Adam is as Caymanian as they come! He even holds a national sporting record for Cayman so please hush
literally, every tv show and film since fingerprints were invented say not to contaminate crime scene, isn’t it basic police work??
Wish they were as professional at investigating real crime as they are at perusing illegal tint
Sounds like the ombudsman needs to investigate this one
Oh please. How many cases do you know of that was successfully investigated and dealt with, in recent times, by the office of the Ombudsman?
Another top quality investigation by the RCIPS.
Lol. Joke of a country
What ?
Classic.
This country going slowly crazy!
It gone long time
I’m so happy for Adam!! Anyone who knows him will agree that he has always been an upright and hardworking man. The system tried to ruin his reputation, but Lady Justice has prevailed once again.
That and the intervention of the Keystone Cops.
