Criminal Court D has set free a man accused of armed robbery for lack of evidence to convict, nine months after his detention.
Peter Dahn was acquitted Monday after the principal defendant confessed linking him to the crime.
Morris Seith told the court he lied on Peter Dahn, his former schoolmate, because of police brutality.
After his arrest, Morris said he called Peter to take a letter to his mother to inform her about his detention.
He told the court police officers arrested his friend while talking with him at the depot, accusing him of being a part of the armed robbery.
During his testimony, Morris said one Varney Brown who is still at large is his only accomplice in the December 2009 armed robbery in Paynesville.
Judge Peter Gbeneweleh's decision followed an acquittal application defense lawyers made after the testimony of the principal defendant.
