Cops framed our don

Reputed 'Clansman' gang leader Tesha Miller is still the boss, residents of De la Vega City in Spanish Town, St Catherine, say.
Members of the community, which is home to the gang, were yesterday rocked by reports that the police took a cellphone from Miller's rectum on Sunday.
On Monday night, the Consta-bulary Communication Network issued a release stating that in addition to the find,Vaseline and a cellular charger were also found in Miller's cell at the Horizon Remand Centre. Miller was taken into custody for allegedly breaching his bail bond on a murder charge.
"Mi frighten when mi si di paper. Mi naw lie, nuttin can go so!" responded one resident in obvious disbelief when questioned by THE STAR.
Unbecoming of Miller
Residents nevertheless are claiming that such a report is very unbecoming of Miller.
"Wi nuh know bout dat, dat nuh sound like fi him style. Dem man deh roll roun' wi so wi know how him roll, suh wi nuh know bout dem behaviour deh," said a resident.
Also, they are further theorising that this is merely a move to get out their leader and as a result, will not affect their community.
When asked if the reports would affect other members of the Clansman gang, one influential member of the community said, "Wi nuh too tek dat no way cause wi know seh nuttin nuh go so. A same so dem plot and get out Marcus Garvey an dem man deh."
He then added: "a plot di police dem a plot fi get di man off a di road. Nuttin nuh go so; a plant dem plant dat pon him. wi nuh believe. When a man back against di wall, dem do anything fi get him out."
Wrong court
Miller appeared in the Gun Court section of the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday and returns tomorrow.
His lawyer, Everton Bird, argued that Miller was before the wrong court and, therefore, that court had no jurisdiction in the case. He said Miller was arrested and charged in Spanish Town, St Catherine, and under the Bail Act, Miller should have been taken to the Spanish Town Resident Magistrate's Court.
Bird also argued that Miller was charged with the wrong offence because he did not abscond bail. He said Miller's next court date was July 31 and Miller was taken into custody last week Friday. He said Miller had allegedly breached one of the conditions of his bail.
The prosecution is opposing bail. A decision will be made tomorrow as to whether a preliminary inquiry will be held in the murder cases or they will be sent to the Home Circuit Court for trial.
