\"crime\"A \u2008murder and attempted murder trial against three defendants came to an abrupt end yesterday when the attorney general entered a nolle prosequi.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors alleged that Anthorn Smith, aka Breadman; Allan Knowles, aka Shorts, and Owen McKenzie, aka Cat, fatally shot Christeria Brown on September 17, 2010 and attempted to murder her boyfriend Dario Rolle.<\/p>\n

Brown and her boyfriend were shot as they slept at a home in Garden Hills. She died as a result of her injuries while Rolle was left with multiple gunshot wounds to his jaw and arm.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors called crime scene officers when they opened their case on Monday.<\/p>\n

Attorneys Murrio Ducille for Smith, Bernard Ferguson for Knowles and Michael Kemp for McKenzie did not ask witnesses any questions. Linda Evans prosecuted.<\/p>\n

Justice Vera Watkins dismissed the jury panel after receiving the directive to stop the case.<\/p>\n

However, she advised the defendants that the nolle was not an acquittal and the Crown reserved the right to recall the case.<\/p>\n
