A Ciceron man, who has been on remand at the Bordelais Correctional Facility for a 2009 homicide, walked out of court a free man today, Monday, May 6, 2013.
Lanse Gerald was 21 years old when he was arrested and charged on Sept. 23, 2009 in connection with the shooting death of 25-year-old Sherick St. Rose aka “Tattoo Man” of La Clery.
According to police, St. Rose was shot by a gunman at about 8:30 p.m. on Sept. 15, 2009 at the Gulf in Ciceron, Castries. Gerald was charged for his murder just over a week later.
However in court today, the prosecution submitted an application, requesting the case to be dismissed.
Justice Francis Cumberbatch granted the request and Gerald was discharged.
St. Lucia News Online (SNO) understands that the matter did not progress beyond the case management process.
Efforts by SNO to obtain more information on the reasons for the dismissal and background on the case have proven futile thus far.

this shit happens all the time, im not surprised one bit.
Can you imagine that one dead one walk who cares so you see why st Lucian's have to protect themselves
stuff like this happen all the time especially when there is no eye weakness, and especially when the police make an arrest with no evidence to work with and at the end of it all no one can be charge without evidence
the royal st lucia police girls does no work at all sha,e on the country and its legal branch the country need to turn dictatorship
i tell u st lucia just a backward place and the royal st.lucia police girls cant do any good work small island people
How high some ppl fly!
this proves the police in St Lucia has no skills an training they cud never acumulate evidence against any of thier suspects...so there's no justice for da victim but justice for da suspect...can't blame da judge for that..
Sherick must be turning in his grave
The quality of justice our tax money can buy.
