The Prosecution contended that Griffith, on November 18, 2017, wounded Kenton Vallet.
Griffith was jointly charged for the offence with his son who was visiting from the United States. However, after the son had offered the virtual complainant (VC) a compensation of $10,000, which was accepted, the matter was dismissed against the son.
Griffith, however, had originally denied the allegation, and was granted $30,000 bail.
