Click to read storyA decision by the Attorney General’s office means a former Bank of the Bahamas manager accused of stealing $130,000 will not be retried.
The case against Terry Murray was discharged last year. Then prosecutors won an appeal on the basis that the magistrate had made ‘material errors’ by not allowing the court to see some of the documents associated with the matter.
Prosecutors say Murray stole the money by authorizing 14 drafts to himself and his siblings. Co-workers testified that he confessed to the theft and claimed he committed the crime out of “frustration and stress”. The alleged thefts occurred in 2004.
On the day he was to appear before court for the start of the new trial, the attorney general’s office withdrew the charges.
