Stabbed 13 times but victim refuses to testify

And in court news, he was stabbed thirteen times to the body and lived to tell the tale, but twenty-eight year old Erlin Neal, a driver and resident of Magazine Road, does not want to relive his near death ordeal. Neal has given police a statement indicating he did not wish to proceed in court with the matter. The DPP, in a memorandum dated June twenty-third, 2009, directed that the charge of Attempted Murder be withdrawn against Vincent Galvez since the prosecution could not succeed. The charge was withdrawn this morning by Magistrate Kathleen Lewis. On February first, just before four in the morning, police found Neal with stab wounds to chest and abdomen at Club Next. Neal told the police he was along with his girlfriend, Tanice Mejia, when he got into an argument with Galvez and others at the bar. That ended badly and Neal claimed Galvez stabbed him thirteen times. Galvez, the son of the owner of another club, Lion King, is also awaiting trial for another Attempted Murder charge that dates back to January 2007.
