been on trial previously.
The decision came after his Attorney, Keoma Griffith, filed a no-case submission claiming that the prosecution in the matter had insufficient evidence. The self-proclaimed up-and-coming singer previously denied the charge against him which stated that he broke into the home of East La Penitence resident Vincent Howard and robbed him of approximately $1.1 million in cash, GTT and Digicel phone cards and Scratch tickets.He was later positively identified by Howard as the young man whose music videos took Facebook by storm for a short period back in 2016. Before his short-lived fame, Clarke worked as a hospital attendant at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
