Deejay Sheldon 'Aidonia' Lawrence was freed in the Gun Court on Wednesday.

The entertainer was slapped with several charges ranging from conspiracy to shooting, illegal possession of firearm and shooting with intent stemming from an incident in Shortwood, St Andrew, in January 2008.

Defence lawyer Valerie Neita-Robertson made an application for the charges to be dismissed for want of prosecution. She submitted that yesterday was the ninth time the case was coming before the court and the witness was never present.

A policeman told the court that he spoke to the witness who was allegedly injured during the shooting incident about the court dates but the witness indicated his reluctance to attend court.

Supreme Court Judge Paulette Williams after hearing submissions from Neita-Robertson said "enough was enough" and freed Lawrence.

Aidonia, who was in a very jovial mood, said he was happy with the outcome and thanked everyone who had been supportive of him in his time of need.
