Belvedere Stabbing Suspect released --- Lack of Evidence sets Suspect Free.

Philipsburg:--- The suspect in the Belvedere stabbing that left Otmar Leonard dead on July 14 last year was set free on Monday by the court of First Instance. The prosecution demanded 10 years for Isidora but the judge was not convinced by the evidence provided by the prosecution.
The presiding judge rules that the there was insufficient evidence to determine who exactly the knife belonged to. Isidoria in his statement said he acted in self defense when the deceased attacked him. The judge said the statement by the suspect was not so implausible and neither does the evidence provided contradict the statement.
However, Isidora was sentenced to four (4) months for threatening the mother and brother of the deceased, time which he already spent behind bars as Isidora was behind bars for seven months.
The main suspect Ackeem Isidora (17) was represented by former prosecutor and defense lawyer Cor Merx. Merx said his client regrets very much the outcome of the incident but he was not the attacker in this case. In the meantime, the prosecution has already submitted an appeal to the courts.
