Magistrate Dane Hamilton has dismissed the battery case against former MP Dean Jonas due to prosecutorial issues.
Jonas, the former St. George representative and Minister of Social Transformation, will learn on September 10 if the dismissal is final.
The charges stemmed from a February 2023 incident at his Scott’s Hill home, including resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and assault.
The magistrate sided with the defense, dismissing the charges.
