THE supposed leader of the St Catherine-based Uchence Wilson Gang, in an ironic twist, yesterday found himself hedged in by his own testimony and the evidence of a former crony and a senior police investigator leading to him being found guilty on several counts by Chief Justice Bryan Sykes.

In the first stunner, Justice Sykes, during his continuing summation, declared Uchence “Terrence” Wilson guilty on counts 50 and 51 of the indictment — illegal possession of firearm and shooting with intent.

In making the decision, the chief justice relied heavily on the “impressive” account about an incident given by a senior detective during the trial, which also coincided with the account given by Stephenson Bennett, another of the accused in the matter.

In that incident, Bennett, after being collared by the police, told them that he was not the “big man” they were looking for, but Wilson, whom, he said, was at that time waiting on him to go to a robbery in St Mary. more
