BROWN... summoned to the court yesterday to explain the wording of a press release issued on the weekend |
Tavares-Finson requested that Justice Lennox Campbell summon Brown to court to explain the wording of a release sent out on Friday, which stated that hoodlums had attempted to firebomb the house of a police sergeant who is a main witness for the prosecution in the case. Tavares-Finson fumed that Justice Campbell had asked a senior policeman last month to inform Brown that the wording of a previous release inferred that the vandals behind the cutting of fibre-optic cables belonging to two telecommunications firms were acting on behalf of individuals involved in a high-profile case.
However, he said the same words were used on the weekend when describing the police sergeant as being "a witness in a high-profile case that is now before the courts". This, the attorney said, was prejudicial against his client and the other accused men. more
