Prosecutors are expected to confirm today that the bribery charge against businessman David Bruce Bicknell have been dropped. The case is set for mention in the Half Way Tree Criminal Court.
As was first reported by RJR News, lawyers for Mr. Bicknell, who is charged under the Corruption Prevention Act, wrote to the Director of Public Prosecutions requesting that she discontinue the case. The request was made in light of testimony by Sergeant Jubert Llewellyn during the court hearing. The DPP confirmed that she responded to the letter.
The charge against Mr. Bicknell stemmed from a traffic stop in April 2012. He was accused of trying to bribe Sergeant Llewellyn after he was caught speeding along the Sir Florizel Glasspole main road.
