Bizarre ‘X6’ murder case

Dear Editor,

I appreciate why Judge Lloyd Hibbert, on the recommendation of the prosecution, who had no evidence to offer, entered a ‘not guilty’ verdict in the Home Circuit Court yesterday, October 24, resulting in the release of the accused businessman Patrick Powell in the X6 murder case relating to the death of Khajeel Mais on July 1, 2011.

This case, from the outset, was riddled with bizarre contortions and omissions which were destined to lead the prosecution off track.

Isn’t it bizarre that the star witness, Wayne Wright, gave a statement on July 8, 2011, yet it was never read over to him?

There is a certificate attached to all statements requiring witnesses to attest the facts stated therein are true. Since he denied elements of his statements, will he now be charged for perjury or for creating public mischief?

Wright told the court on October 20 that there was poor visibility due to a slight fog. Isn’t it bizarre that, although the place was foggy, and there was a clear danger, that he acceded to Mais’ request to drive faster anyway?

Since the area was foggy, isn’t it bizarre that the driver of the big, black SUV would have been so malevolent and reckless as to fire without regard for the life of the occupants of that vehicle?

Was Powell’s gun that was allegedly used in the shooting ever ordered for testing by the judge? Wouldn’t surrendering the weapon for testing serve to exonerate him?

Was a forensic examination conducted on the X6 that was allegedly driven by Powell? What were the findings?

There is a stench that abounds.

The poor will continue to suffer injustice because of their situation, and the powerful will reign. I subscribe to the maxim Fiat justitia ruat caelum (Let justice be done, though the heavens fall).
