State drops charges against accused Greenwich stalker
Greenwich Time
A Greenwich man accused of repeatedly stalking his ex-girlfriend from 23 years ago was cleared of a new set of charges Tuesday after a prosecutor from the Chief State's Attorney's Office said the physical evidence did not match the allegations in the warrant.

..."After an investigation, it became clear the allegations were not correct," said Senior Assistant State's Attorney Kevin Dunn. "The physical evidence contradicts what was in the warrant. It would not be possible for the state to go forward."....

Did You Ever Notice That The Greenwich Police Department

Is Having Its So-Called Stalking Cases

Becoming Duds In Court

On April 8th Willie Hickson was charged with first-degree criminal trespass and third-degree stalking Ophrah Winfrey's Best Friend Gail King Who Was Living OnRichmond Hill Road.

Mr. Hickson was held on $25,000 bond

Public defender Howard Ehring Hickson was simply trying to get a copy of a political expose he had written to Oprah.

On April 20th, a jury began to be impaneled.

On April 21st, States Attorney

Mitchell Rubin

said Mr. Hickson won't be charged and that they had dropped the case.

Initially after Mr. Hickson's arrest, police stated in their reports that Ms. King was "adamant" that Hickson be charged with a crime because she feared for her safety.

However, if the criminal trial proceeded, it is likely Ms. King would have been called to testify. When it came time to go to court Ms. King refused to testify about the Greenwich Police Department arrest.

Guess What ....
