UPDATE: State Attorney’s Office spokesman Ron Ishoy in Broward County released the following statement Friday afternoon:  “The Broward State Attorney’s office in Fort Lauderdale filed paperwork Friday afternoon – an announcement of no information – noting that it will not file a charge of misdemeanor battery against William Bush. An explanation  of that decision will be available in the coming days.”

The Attorney for the Honourable McKeeva Bush tells Cayman Islands media he expects the charge against Mr. Bush to be dropped sometime today (Fri) or early Monday at the latest.  Attorney Keith Selzer today told the media he expects to receive official paperwork shortly and that the state is declining to prosecute because there is no evidence of a crime.
