DPP gets file on lawyer accused of corruption
January 15, 2010
The file in the case against the attorney-at law who was held by a police team from the Anti-Corruption Branch for allegedly trying to bribe a cop, has now been submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions for a ruling. The Manchester police said yesterday that the lawyer, who was in custody, was held on reasonable suspicion for breaches of the Corruption Prevention Act (2000) and for attempting to pervert the course of justice. "The file in the case has been submitted and we are now awaiting a ruling in the matter," Superintendent Lascelles Taylor said yesterday.

January 6, 2010
BY KARYL WALKER Crime/Court Desk Co-ordinator walkerk@jamaicaobserver.com Wednesday, January 06, 2010 THE trial of former junior minister Kern Spencer and his co-accused Coleen Wright hit a snag yesterday after defence lawyers and Director of Public Prosecutions Paula Llewellyn haggled over what the attorneys said was information that was being withheld from them.

Although yesterday was relatively calm up to Observer press time last night, the 11 deaths had already surpassed the six reported in the first three days of 2009, based on police reports. The latest murder is that of 44-year-old taxi driver, Norris Williams of Birdsucker Lane, in St Andrew, whom police say was operating his Toyota Corolla motor car about 9:23 pm in the Pinkneys Green community, when explosions were heard and a man seen running from the vehicle. Residents found Williams’ body slumped over the steering wheel. The police were summoned and processed the crime sc...

Deadly decade
January 3, 2010
Howard Campbell, Gleaner Writer "It's been another bloody year in Jamaica," seems to be a bad cliché that just won't go away. But with more than 1,600 murders making the police files in 2009, using that familiar line once more is inevitable even as there is the quiet hope that it will not be rep...
