Tenant found not guilty of using threatening language, assaulting ‘powerful’ landlord
Devye Nicholson was found not guilty of Common Assault and Threatening Language when she appeared before the Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, July 21, 2020.
The decision was handed down by Magistrate Ayanna O. Baptiste-DaBreo.
Allegations
On Tuesday, February 18, 2020, Nicholson said in court, that on July 28, 2018, her landlady, the Virtual Complainant (VC) was unhappy that she was using Bleach and Fabuloso to clean the verandah in the apartment building where she lived in Baughers Bay.
She said they had an argument and the landlady told her to handover the hose. Unwilling to hand over the hose, the defendant said the VC started tugging on it while she was trying to fill a bucket with water.
During the ordeal, the defendant said she nearly slipped and fell and decided to release the hose which was still being held by the VC. As a result, the VC fell on the rough ground and got injuries to her right knee, right elbow and right palm.
The defendant said it was then that the VC allegedly told her she would say to the police that she choked her with the hose, threatened to break her neck and assaulted her.
The defendant alleged the VC reminded her that she was a Skelton, and whatever she said to the police they would believe her, as her family’s name was weighty in the Territory.
The defendant said her job at the Dr D. Orlando Smith Hospital was also threatened by the VC because her relative was the Minister at the time.
Alleged threat of deportation
The single mother told the court that the VC also threatened to get her deported and came to her workplace to complain to her coworkers and bosses about the alleged offences.
The defendant said the VC only stopped when her lawyer, Mrs Valerie Stephens-Gordon, wrote her a letter.

This is public record so why one name is openly displayed while the other is hidden.
The Creator, the Almighty is a God of Justice and sooner than later all the evil upon this earth will be no more. Yes, I can't wait for Armageddon - God's war upon ALL the wicked. Many blasphemous evil doers though will get what they deserve before that time, including some who claim to be his servants.
