Carlton Grant (Spragga Son) Murder Witness Statement

[Bricktop]

The witness said he knew that Danhai Williams (east Kingston businessman) and a man called 'Softie' worked at the office where they went on Homestead Road. He said when they went to the building he remained outside, but Corporal Tingling and Sergeant Ballen went inside. Constable Brown testified that it was close to 6:00 p.m. when he saw a short dark man with metal on his teeth come out and hand Tingling something which appeared to be a firearm.

He said Tingling put it in a yellow paper bag after which they all went to Kraal. He said on the way to Kraal, Tingling got out of the car on two occasions and fired shots from the firearm and collected the spent shells.
When they reached Kraal, he saw SSP Adams and they went into a room where he saw the body of a woman and a rifle lying on the floor. Corporal Tingling gave SSP Adams the yellow paper bag. SSP Adams, in referring to the rifle on the floor, said "See the gun deh weh de dutty boy dem a fire."
SSP Adams went to a room where there was the body of a man. SSP Adams bent down, took the firearm from the bag and placed it on the floor. He (Adams) then picked out the spent shells and threw them on the floor.

So where did the rifle come from?

[Lazie]

At least one but hey it was probably planted

hehehehe ... whey yuh when deh? What did Danhi Williams affi duh wid the case? Probably ... I guess you were one of those that think the cow did probaby jump over the moon.

"A policeman testified yesterday that even as he searched one of the victims of the Crawle killings and had found nothing that could bring harm to him or his colleagues, the man was shot dead"

Knock yuhself out!

[Gamma]

[Mosiah]

There are numerous media accounts and court records which seriously throw some doubt on that shootout story.

[Lazie]

The state says there was a shootout and that's all I can go by. Now given the scenario what are your thoughts on the subject?

Yuh realize that many times when the police say shootout ... dem mean police shooting. How many guns were found at the scene? Gamma ... rope in!

[Lazie]

So let mi get this straight. You ar harbouring a man wanted for murder and when police come fi him and shootout occur the police should be blamed for any resulting deaths?

A shootout did occur? Thats what the police said. When yuh ago stop tek dem word as gospel BT? Mi a try wid yuh. How many guns were found at the crime scene?
