As he lay dying of multiple gunshot wounds at his home in Dorchester, the 18-year-old who had come to the United States as a refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo muttered, "Marquis shot me."
Prosecutors could not prove it. After about four days of testimony and a day of deliberations, a Suffolk Superior Court jury acquitted 17-year-old Marquis Browder of Dorchester yesterday of charges he murdered Giresse Diansweki as the refugee stood in the doorway of his Stanton Street three- decker on March 31, 2005. Prosecutors said Browder killed Diansweki after the two had a dispute. Browder, then age 15 and an eighth-grader at Solomon Lewenberg Middle School in Mattapan, lived seven doors from Diansweki on the same street. "Certainly, we're disappointed and frankly surprised by the jury's verdict," said Jake Wark, a spokesman for the Suffolk district attorney's office. "Based on the strong eyewitness testimony and the victim's dying declaration, we felt the case was very strong."
........... like fumbling on the 1 yard line. Jeezus H. How many Marquis' did Giresse actaully know personally and recently have a fight with? Motive, opportunity, and access. What more do they need? You really can't blame the prosecutor on this one, just the dopes in the jury box.
If I get shot in my doorway and then in my dying declaration tell my wife that "Gil from Masscops did it", don't you think that this would be enough? Evidently not.
Sorry Gil, just using you as an example. I no way implied that you would shoot me. Although you may harbor the urge now and again!!
