A Sandys man has been found guilty by a unanimous verdict of an attack which left a Smith’s man unconscious with a fractured skull.Khyri Smith-Williams, 21, was found guilty in Supreme Court yesterday of causing grievous bodily harm to 30-year-old Nathaniel Ingham in an incident outside Woody’s Bar in Sandys.However the jury found him not guilty of the more serious offence of wounding Mr Ingham with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.The court had heard that on the evening of December 5, 2012, Mr Ingham and Kwame Caisey went to Woody’s Bar on Mr Caisey’s boat to celebrate a friend’s birthday.The two men both had several drinks on the boat and at the bar, which was described as being busy that evening.Minutes after midnight the two men were in a group of people near a flagpole outside the bar when Mr Caisey turned around to find Mr Ingham on the ground.He initially believed the victim had passed out due to alcohol and attempted to carry him to his boat, but realised the problem was more serious after seeing blood coming from the back of Mr Ingham’s head.He then carried the victim back to the road and called for help. When paramedics arrived, Mr Ingham was in an unresponsive state.Mr Ingham was rushed to hospital where a CT scan revealed he was suffering from intercranial bleeding, a fractured skull and a broken nose.He was flown to Boston for treatment, received 60 stitches and underwent multiple surgeries to relieve pressure on his brain.He remained in hospital for four months and, even after returning to the Island, had to be flown back to the US on one occasion when the pressure on his brain began to build again.Mr Ingham also suffered some memory loss due to his injuries. Testifying about the night of the attack, he told the court that he recalls bumping into a man outside the bar and apologising. The next thing he remembers is waking up at Boston’s Lahey Clinic three weeks later.Crown counsel Larissa Burgess told the court that CCTV footage of the evening showed Smith-Williams walking up to Mr Ingham at around 12.10am and striking him with his right hand, knocking him to the ground.She said Smith-Williams was then seen to walk to an area near the entrance of the bar and wipe off his right arm.At around the same time she said a witness, Theresha Wolffe, heard Smith-Williams boasting he had knocked out “some drunk fool”.Defense lawyer Mark Daniels however said, due to the poor quality of the CCTV footage, it was unclear if it was the defendant seen on camera or if the camera had recorded a blow being dealt.Even if the jury was to find that his client had struck the victim, Mr Daniels said he may not have been responsible for Mr Ingham’s injuries. He suggested that another person could have struck the victim with a bottle during the chaos of the evening, noting that broken glass was found in the area following the attack.Smith-Williams did not take the stand or call any witnesses in his defence.As the jury deliberated, Justice Juan Wolffe and lawyers for both sides agreed to add the lesser charge of causing grievous bodily harm without intent to the indictment as an alternative charge.Less than an hour after informing the jury of the lesser charge, the jury delivered a unanimous guilty verdict on that offence.Mr Justice Wolffe ordered a social inquiry report be carried out on Smith-Williams, remanding him into custody until the September arraignments session for a sentencing date to be set.As Smith-Williams was escorted out of the court by Corrections Officers, the victim and his family hugged Ms Burgess.
