Junior Georges, a Haitian national, was acquitted of robbery and conspiracy charges after a trial in Cumberland County court.
A Haitian immigrant living in York was acquitted Tuesday of robbery charges after a two-day trial in Cumberland County.CARLISLE - A Haitian immigrant arrested on armed robbery charges in Cumberland County last year was found not guilty Tuesday after a two-day jury trial here.
Reached afterward, a member of the jury who asked not to be identified said Georges’ testimony presented the panel with a credible enough alternative view of the events that day that everyone felt they had reasonable doubts. Mastrine, according to his testimony, ultimately foiled the robbery by waiting in the bank office for Georges and the four others in the Kia - which had followed him there - to leave.
Mastrine eventually did contact police, he said, after taking additional calls from people he believed to be associated with Mr. George demanding money. Georges said when he tried to call 9-1-1, and began asking for an interpreter, Mastrine waived him off, stating that he was “a dealer” and he did not want to have police involved.
Georges said he and Mastrine never threatened each other, and he said he presumed at that point that the car’s owner and Mastrine were exchanging insurance information. When he left Mastrine at the bankm he said, Mastrine gave him $50 and told him to “be safe.”
