On Friday (20) after a re-trial lasting six weeks, David Tamasa, Rennie Cole, George Mignot and Andre Burton were all found ‘guilty’ once again of robbery and possession of an unlicensed firearm;

The robbery happened in broad daylight at Cayman National Bank’s Buckingham Square, Grand Cayman branch in June 2012.

The men’s  original convictions in April 2013 were turned over  by the Court of Appeal last year as a result of a technicality regarding directions over their decisions not to give evidence and a retrial was ordered. Even this time the four accused did not give evidence.

The crown’s key witness, Marlon Dillon, a.k.a. ‘Supergrass’, was a member of the robbery gang and was sentenced for his part for three years in jail but was recently released.

The jury were given a clear direction by the judge they must find other supporting evidence to convict the men and must not rely on Dillon’s evidence alone. The jury obviously found this in telephone and other circumstantial evidence.

Justice Ingrid Mangatal will sentence the men on Wednesday (25).
