Also heard it court today was a conversation with the sole female defendant, indicating she was receiving crucial intel from a member of the Constabulary about their investigation into the criminal organisation.
The witness had previously told the court that Stephanie Christie aka Mumma would give police information on the alleged gangsters who had become disloyal and threatened Andre Bryan’s reign.
This morning the court also heard Christie in a recorded conversation admitting to receiving information about the probe into the gang from members of the Constabulary.
Mumma: yea man a him fram a pin to a ancha a tell me di tings dem man.
Witness: eehn eh.
Mumma: Yea man cuz him rate Hombre enuh a him a mek mi know dem nawve nutten pan him.
A suh me know him a come home man.
Witness: Oh a good thing we ave him.pan fi wi side man.
The witness later explained that Christie was getting information from a policeman connected with the Criminal Investigation Branch, CIB.
In the meantime, the prosecution also tried to enter into evidence, a voice note said to be from City Puss to the witness.
But presiding judge Chief Justice Bryan Sykes intervened saying the prosecution would have had to do more for the voice note to meet the evidentiary threshold prescribed by Evidence Act.
According to Justice Sykes, City Puss, and not the Witness would have been the producer of that audio.
The prosecution would have had to present other evidence, including proof the device used to produce that voicenote was functional.
