Dancehall artiste Rytical was freed of illegal possession of firearm and ammunition charges today. Maintaining his innocence through the year long process, he says he’s ready for the next chapter in his career. It was all smiles when Rytikal and his lawyer, Able-Don Foote came to speak with our news team, following the acquittal of the illegal possession of firearm charges laid against the ‘chosen’ singer.
The artiste whose real name is Rohan Mcfarlane appeared in the supreme court on Friday. Rytikal was charged in January last year after a search of the artiste’s car unearthed, a Taurus 380 pistol with 12 rounds of ammunition. He maintained innocence, claiming the gun was a prop for a music video. He is one of several artistes, including Tommy Lee Sparta and Ladden, to have appeared before the judge on gun related charges, a time when the government says it’s committed to rid the streets of illegal guns. Foote however explains how his submissions against the prosecution lead to a historic victory for the artiste.
He’s finding “beauty in the struggle” as he says it’s straight to the top from here.
