The Queen v ZAKAI CANN L. Ricketts and K. Swan of Department of Public Prosecutions; C. Richardson of Compass Law for the Defendant NO CASE RULING 1. Facts The defendant is charged on a two count indictment with possession of a firearm without a licence and discharging a firearm in November 2009, contrary to sections 3(1)(a) and 4(1) of the Firearms Act 1973. 2. The key witness, Ms. Tiffany Atherley, gave the police a video-audio interview on 31st December 2009, in the presence of her lawyer, in which she in detail said she saw the defendant pistol-whip another man earlier than afternoon; he later gave her a lift to her home. There in her kitchen alone with her immediately after arrival he produced a firearm in hand and began to clean it. This scared her so much she asked him to remove it, particularly as he appeared to be pointing it at her and waving it around. Whilst he was cleaning it, it accidentally went off causing her to dash to the ground in fear that she was shot. So loud was the bang her ears were ringing. He, like her, was shaken up. He in startled fashion commented, the safety was not on. She soon realized a bullet hole in her refrigerator door and damage to the interior but no exit hole to the rear. She covered that up with a magnet. The defendant began searching for the shell and found it hooked up in his jacket. She then asked him to leave. She did not report the matter to the police. 3. There was a subsequent shooting about a month or so later, on 15th December 2009. On that same night she received a call or text from the defendant informing her that he was on his way to bring some clothing to her house. This so concerned her, she messaged her friend 'E', Ian DeSilva two messages informing him that 'ya bye call saying he is bringing clothes here.' The defendant arrived and brought a red jacket and black jeans which he put on her couch. She recognized that these were the same clothing he was wearing on the night he discharged the firearm into her fridge door. 4. She later moved those clothing to the corner of her living room on the floor. She described the firearm to the police as silver and black with a clip. 5. Next day the 16th the police contacted her. Consequently she sent another message to her friend Ian informing him the police had contacted her for an investigation. Upon her arrival to the police she was interviewed in the presence of her lawyer but made no comment. The following day the police searched her house using keys supplied by her and there found the bullet hole in the fridge with the magnet covering it and the clothing on the floor of her living room. These were all photographed and seized. There were other attempts at interviews but her response was no comment. She was arrested and charged and remanded in custody for offences akin to those with which the defendant is now charged. 6. Eventually on the 31st December 2009 in the presence of her lawyer she gave the police the video-audio interview detailing the above. In that interview she explained why she was reluctant to speak. She was fearful as she knew the defendant was a member of the MOB gang. Her intent was to tell the truth on the first day she went to the police but the police pounced on her and she decided to remain silent. The defendant left the Island on 24th December 2009 and didn't return until 4th May 2010. He was arrested and charged on 1st November 2012. She refused the offer of protection. Meanwhile, the police kept vigilance of her, visiting her at her workplace from time to time. The case went cold. The police took a further audio-video interview from her in which she expounded her MOB fears. 7. The case was scheduled for trial on the 10th April 2012. The police had been in search of her without success. They had learnt she had left her workplace without a forwarding address. She was no longer living at her former address. She had been living with a new boyfriend at another place. They contacted that boyfriend; her mother and staked out her children's school with no success.

Zharrin Frankie Simmons v THE QUEEN 1. The appellant Zharrin Simmons, along with two male persons, was convicted on two counts of robbery. The first count related to Kenneth Williams and the second to Victoria DeCoute. She was sentenced to five years imprisonment on each count, the sentence to run concurrent. 2. On 27th August 2011, at about 8 p.m. Kenneth Williams along with Victoria DeCoute, left Miss DeCoute mother's house in Pembroke driving in her mother's car. Miss DeCoute was in the passenger seat. 3. The car was driven to Hermitage Road in Devonshire. On arrival there, Mr. Williams parked the car in a parking lot outside of SAL. He said it was dark but there were streetlights there. They had gone there to purchase marijuana. 4. Miss DeCoute contacted the person they were going to meet. About five minutes later, Mr. Williams testified, that he saw a man come towards the parked car. The man came to the driver's side of the car. The window was down; the door was closed but not locked. 5. Another man came towards the car and the first man opened the driver's door. He had a knife in his right hand and he tried to stab Mr. Williams around his head and chest area. Mr. Williams tried to grab the knife. The second man was attempting to punch him in his face. 6. The first man told the second man to search Mr. Williams' pocket. A Blackberry phone valued at $300 was taken from his pocket by the second man. 7. Mr. Williams and Miss DeCoute exited the car and there was a struggle for the knife. He saw a third person, a woman, come towards them from the same direction the others had come from. She had a sword like object and she was trying to hit Mr. Williams. He put the first man in the way and he was hit with the sword like object by the woman. The men and the woman ran off towards Boundary Terrace, the direction they had come from. 8. The incident lasted a couple of minutes. He described the woman as being five-seven, yellow skin, braids straight to the back and thick lips. 9. Mr. Williams further testified that he had seen this woman before as she used to live in Deepdale Road and that he had seen her there in a yellow house. He does not recall having spoken to her before. He could see their faces because nothing was obstructing his view and he did not give them permission to take his cell. 2014-03-13 Court of Appeal Criminal Baker Reasons For Decision

Derek Roy Spalding v THE QUEEN PRESIDENT 1. The appellant was convicted by a Jury on February 10, 2012 of one count of premeditated murder and a second count of using a firearm to commit an indictable offence. On the premeditated murder charge he was sentenced to life imprisonment, with the minimum time to be served before eligibility for consideration of parole being thirty eight years. On the second count he was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment to run concurrent with the life sentence. Time in custody to be taken into account. 2. The case for the prosecution mainly rested on the evidence of Mr. Randolph Lightbourne and the appellant's father, Mr. Carlton Spalding, both these witnesses alleged that the appellant confessed to them that he had killed the deceased Shaki Crockwell. There was also evidence of "song lyrics" found in the appellant's apartment. 3. Mr. Lightbourne, the appellant and the deceased had at one time been inmates at the Westgate Correctional Facility. The deceased was paroled in 2005, and the appellant in 2006, was placed in what was known as the Transitional Centre from which he could leave the prison daily on work release, returning in the evening and spending weekends with family and friends. 4. Mr. Lightbourne, though, still in prison had a cell phone as did the appellant. They kept in touch by their cell phones. 5. In early 2006 the appellant told Mr. Lightbourne that he had given drugs to the deceased to sell for him. The deceased had told the appellant that he had lost the drugs. The appellant did not believe the deceased and asked Mr. Lightbourne to call Shaki to feel him out to see if he was speaking the truth. The deceased confessed to Mr. Lightbourne that he had lost the drugs. 6. Sometime after the appellant again telephoned Mr. Lightbourne complaining that Shaki was yet to provide restitution for the loss and that he believed that Shaki was playing him. Mr. Lightbourne continued to mediate between the appellant and the deceased. Subsequently the appellant told Mr. Lightbourne that he had given Shaki a pound of weed to sell and that the deceased was yet to make a payment. 7. In a telephone conversation with Mr. Lightbourne, the appellant told him that he was convinced that he was being played and ripped off by the deceased, and if he didn't pay him, he was going to take Shaki out. 8. The appellant was released on parole in March 2007 and Mr. Lightbourne was transferred to the Prison Farm. They continued to communicate by cell phone. 2013-11-18 Court of Appeal Criminal Auld Reasons For Decision
