Christopher 'Dog Paw' Linton freed of second gun charge

Christopher Linton, former head of the Dawg Paw Gang, has been freed of  another gun related charge.
  
Linton was found not guilty before the Gun Court for a shooting in December 2010 in which three persons, including a six year old boy and his mother were killed in Bedward Gardens, St. Andrew.
 
Justice Courtney Day ordered his release after rejecting the prosecution's case against him for illegal possession of a firearm and shooting with intent.
  
However, Linton remains behind bars as he is serving a 15 year sentence for a 2012 case for shooting at the police.
  
He was freed of another gun related charge in 2014.
  
Prosecutors reported that 50 year old Maris Hilton; 31 year old Diana Forbes and her six year old son, Jahame McKay were killed when thugs led by Linton opened fire on their house.
  
The men also shot up and set fires to several houses in Beward Gardens.
  
Prosecutors say they were not able to proceed with the murder charges against him as the witnesses failed to attend court.
