The stateâs highest court Monday threw out the first degree murder conviction of a Boston man who set in motion the gunfire that claimed the life of Dawnn Jaffier hours before she was to participate in
the 2014 Caribbean Festival in Boston.
In a unanimous ruling, the Supreme Judicial Court said Suffolk prosecutors did not marshal enough evidence against Wesson Colas, who pointed â but did not fire â a pistol at a man who did fire the bullets that killed 26-year-old Jaffier in Dorchester in 2014. (Keith Williams was convicted as the triggerman during the same trial with Colas. His appeal is pending before the SJC.)
