Western Bureau:
Detective Constable Carey Lyn-Shue, who admitted this week that he had fabricated evidence in a murder case, says he is now at peace with himself and his God, despite being suspended from duty by Police Commissioner Rear Admiral Hardley Lewin.
"I am not sorry about what I did (confess) and I am ready to face any action that is taken against me," Detective Constable Lyn-Shue, who describes himself as a born-again Christian, told The Gleaner yesterday. "I prefer to put the God that I serve above all other considerations."
Fabricated evidence
On Tuesday, Detective Constable Lyn-Shue, who is attached to the Area One Accident Reconstruction and Investigative Unit, told the [COLOR=orange! important][COLOR=orange! important]Montego [COLOR=orange! important]Bay[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] Resident Magistrate's Court that he had fabricated evidence in a case against 22-year-old murder accused Jason James. As a result of his confession, a no-case order was made against James.
Yesterday, Commissioner Lewin, saying he strongly condemned the action of Detective Constable Lyn-Shue, issued a statement indicating the policeman had been suspended from duty with immediate effect. The commissioner noted in the statement that such behaviour would not be tolerated in the force.
"Some people are saying that I have destroyed my life and my career," said Detective Constable Lyn-Shue, in reacting to his [COLOR=orange! important][COLOR=orange! important]suspension[/COLOR][/COLOR].
"However, I am happy to say that whatever I have lost in this world, I have gained in [COLOR=orange! important][COLOR=orange! important]Jesus [COLOR=orange! important]Christ[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]. I know I will survive by His grace."
Detective Constable Lyn-Shue, who was commended by attorney-at-law Albert Morgan, who represented the accused man, has won the support and sympathy of at least one prominent churchman in [COLOR=orange! important][COLOR=orange! important]pastor[/COLOR][/COLOR] Ralph Somers of the Faith Warriors Ministries for [COLOR=orange! important][COLOR=orange! important]Christ[/COLOR][/COLOR].
"He has done the right thing ... That is the best thing he could have done," said Pastor Somers. "Although he might suffer for his action, he can now face his God with a clear conscience."
While acknowledging that his action has the potential to cast a shadow over the integrity of the force, Detective Constable Lyn-Shue, who lashed out at hypocrisy, which would rather have him protect the image of the force than speak the truth, said he would do it again.
"If there are other situations that will require me to do the same thing again, I will," said Detective Constable Lyn-Shue, who was somewhat evasive when asked whether there were other such cases in which he was involved. "I cannot speak to that at this time, but time will tell."
In addition to suspending Detec-tive Constable Lyn-Shue, Commis-sioner Lewin stated that all cases handled by him, and statements that he had provided as evidence, would immediately be reviewed. adrian.frater@gleanerjm.com

Christian cop closes ranks with Lyn-Shue
published: Saturday | January 19, 2008

THE HEAD of one arm of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) has come out in support of Detective Constable Carey Lyn-Shue, for speaking the truth about fabricating a statement against a man accused of murder.
Sergeant Dalton Scott, president of Cops for Christ - an extension of the Community Relations branch, yesterday commended Detective Constable Lyn-Shue for his honesty and said that his [COLOR=orange! important][COLOR=orange! important]suspension[/COLOR][/COLOR] from the JCF, after coming clean, might send the wrong message to others who might want to follow the same path.
"The penalty was too harsh. Some consideration must be given for his honesty and his integrity," said Sergeant Scott. "Others who would want to do the same would be afraid, so we are going right back to square one, where there is no truth."
Sergeant Scott said his mission was to 'Christianise' the JCF so its members might be truthful and display honesty in their actions. "One of the six things that He (God) hates most is a false witness. So when someone fabricates, God is not pleased," said Scott. "This is what is lacking in the force, integrity from the top to bottom."

Seems to me there isn't enough of the holy spirit in Lyn-Shue.
Therein "lies" the problem....

[Rockman]

I wonder how the good members of your church would feel about the cop that confessed..., their stance on police killing the youths has created some confusion. He lied(not killed)in order to keep one of those 'bad guys' off the streets, and if they now are in favour of forgiveness, where was it for the victims of extra-judicial killings?
I would have the good members of your church know a rasta congregation would not have harbored those ill views.

That aside, good morning sickko.

... Do is california style (was it Rampart Street Gang Unit?) and give up the other cops who lie, murder, deal drugs and cheat.

[Sickko]

Morning to you too sir. This angel is serving time in prison on a gun related charge...he was not charged for the murder as no one came forward to give evidence, which is far too common in the courts these days and one of the main reasons so many murderers are walking the streets and killing again.

There are several guys you see on the streets every day, just flaunting when they should be in prison.

I like this right turn, to hell with the no right turn sign

Cops label confessor a traitor - Policemen fire salvos at Lyn-Shue - Could destroy colleagues' careers

WESTERN BUREAU:
WHILE HE is now a hero to the church community which has hailed his confession as 'the right thing to do', some policemen are labelling Detective Constable Carey Lyn-Shue a traitor, saying he has breached the code of silence among [COLOR=orange! important][COLOR=orange! important]colleagues[/COLOR][/COLOR].
Last Tuesday, Detective Constable Lyn-Shue, who is attached to the Area One Accident Reconstruction and Investigative Unit, confessed in the [COLOR=orange! important][COLOR=orange! important]Montego [COLOR=orange! important]Bay[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] Resident Magistrate's Court that he had fabricated evidence in a murder case. As a result of his revelation, a no-case order was made against the accused man.
Following Detective Constable Lyn-Shue's confession, he was promptly suspended from duty by police chief, Rear Admiral Hardley Lewin, who not only condemned his past action, but also ordered a review of all the cases he had handled, inclusive of statements he had given.
Consequently, Detective Constable Lyn-Shue has all but become a pariah among some of his colleagues, who are now worried that what he said could do irreparable damage to the [COLOR=orange! important][COLOR=orange! important]careers[/COLOR][/COLOR] of the other policemen who were involved in the investigation.
"That thing (the case) happened two years (ago) and now this man has decided to make a fool of himself and his colleagues who were involved in the case," said one policeman, who asked not to be identified. "Personally, I believe he needs a proper psychological evaluation because it look like him a mad."
Secret pact
Another policeman, who also asked not to be identified, said Detective Constable Lyn-Shue acted in contravention of what he was taught at training school, drawing reference to the secret pact which required that no one backtrack from a contrived storyline, regardless of the consequences.
"In this business, your word is your bond, it is what you live and die by," the lawman said, almost in anger. "You just can't decide overnight that you are now a Christian, so you should go out and talk foolishness to mash up other people's life."
Anticipating the backlash from his colleagues, Detective Constable Lyn-Shue told The Gleaner last Friday, "Some people are saying that I have destroyed my life and my career. However, I am happy to say that whatever I have lost in this world, I have gained in [COLOR=orange! important][COLOR=orange! important]Jesus [COLOR=orange! important]Christ[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]."
Detective Constable Lyn-Shue's colleagues who spoke to The Gleaner believe his confession amounts to providing police detractors with ammunition to attack their credibility and further destroy the image of the constabulary. "This is like giving the human rights people and the other police haters a bucket of mud to dash into the face of the police," said a senior policeman, who also asked to remain anonymous. "I believe this offence attracts an 18-month jail term and my hope is that Mr. Lyn-Shue gets the 18 months for the damage he has done."

[OJ]

its funny how the commish was talking about getting rid of corruption. If so you need whistle blowers.

[Seuss]

Lewin is between a rock and a hard place now. THe cop has broken the law, and therefore has to be dealt with within the law. But he also needs to encourage a culture of honesty. I hope they find a way to cut this guy some slack. This is the first sing of a crack in the code of silence and Lewin needs to pry that crack into a chasm.

[Sickko]

True word Seuss...true word brother...the repercussions will be far and wide.
