Appeals Court overturns abductor’s conviction

He was convicted of forcible abduction, threat of death, and harm, and in October was sentenced to eight years in jail. But today thirty-eight year old Albert Guy walked out of the Court of Appeal a free man. His attorney, Hubert Elrington, successfully argued that because the I.D. parade included no other people of East Indian extraction, Guy’s conviction must be quashed and the sentence set aside. On October thirty-first, 2000, Guy allegedly abducted eighteen-year-old U.B. student Tracy Gillett at the Pallotti junction. A bus driver noticed the incident and subsequently rescued the young woman.
