Two witnesses testified when the gun and ammunition case against Julius Radcliff Carter began in the No. 2 Supreme Court yesterday.
Carter, of Vaucluse, St Thomas, has denied he had a pipe gun and three rounds of ammunition on August 20, 2008.
Yesterday, two lawmen, both now retired, took the stand.
Retired Station Sergeant Ronald Cummins told the court he assisted with the investigations and that he knew acting Sergeants Omar Nicholls and Junior White.
He recalled he accompanied them to Vaucluse and he was present when a firearm and ammunition were found in the accused’s possession.
When cross-examined, he said he had been attached to the Anti-Gun and Gang Unit.
He said he did not search the residence of the accused, neither did he personally search a shed belonging to him, but he supervised the searching of the shed.
The witness added he was there when Carter made statements to Sergeant Nicholls, but the accused did not sign them as such an act was not part of the force’s policy at the time.
Justice Randall Worrell and a nine-member jury of six women and three men are hearing the case. It is being prosecuted by Crown Counsel Oliver Thomas. (HLE)
