His freedom followed a ruling by the Court of Appeal, which decided against retrying him and his co-defendants in the 2011 murder case of Clive “Lizard” Williams. Initially convicted in 2014 alongside Shawn ‘Shawn Storm’ Campbell, Kahira Jones, and Andre St John, their appeal to the local Court of Appeal in 2020 was unsuccessful. However, the UK-based Privy Council overturned their convictions on March 14, 2024, citing juror misconduct.
