MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - The State of Florida dismissed the case against a man accused of vandalizing a wall at Art Basel Miami Beach in December.
Roderick Webber attended a court hearing with his face painted and a banana in-hand, Thursday morning.
The hearing comes after Webber turned down a plea deal in January.
“The judge was sensible knowing that it was a pointless case,” he said outside the courtroom. “At the end of the day, the judge determined that what I did was art, obviously. Otherwise, how am I walking free?”
He allegedly wrote “Epstein didn’t kill himself” on the walls where a taped banana, that was sold for $120,000, was once on display in Miami Beach.
