Kitty man on bail for discharging firearm in public

Flavious Rodius, a 23-year-old man of Gordon Street, Kitty, Georgetown, has been placed on $100,000 bail on Monday following his arraignment in the Georgetown court of Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore in answer to a charge of discharging a loaded firearm within 100 yards of a public way.
Rodius pleaded not guilty to committing the offence, steadfastly denying any involvement in the shooting, which allegedly occurred on February 24 at Queen and William Streets in Kitty, and defence counsel questioned the grounds on which he was charged.

According to the defence, video footage of the incident exists, but it reportedly shows four unidentified men along with Rodius. The attorney emphasized that none of the men’s faces was visible in the footage, raising concerns about the ability to definitively link Rodius to the alleged crime.
Additionally, defence counsel pointed out that there was no confession to the offence, nor had law enforcement officials recovered any firearm or ammunition that could tie Rodius to the shooting.
Since the prosecution did not object to bail, and acknowledged the existence of video evidence, the court has been assured that the footage would be made available for review as the case progresses.
After considering the arguments, Magistrate Azore placed Rodius on bail, and adjourned the case to April 7, when further evidence is expected to be presented.
