The blood found on the premises where it was said that the alleged murder took place was collected as evidence and matched againstClive William‘s uncle.
It came back negative and the prosecution’s reply was the reason the blood wasn’t a match was because Mr. Williams was a “jacket”.
A cell site expert from the police force was called upon and he testified that no one cell phone can make a call one second after being registered at the Norman Manley airport and at the Acadia cell sites.
When the question was put to him by the defense as to how that is possible, his reply was he could not answer to that.He was asked if it’s possible that the chip was cloned and he replied saying it’s a possibility.
Another police expert was called upon by the prosecutor. He testified that metadata is a data about data and the main witness had testified before that he arrived at Havendale 5 or 5:30 but call data record showed his phone making calls in Portmore at that particular time.
The police expert was asked by the defense how this is possible. His reply was I don’t know.
He also testified that a photograph was taken from a phone allegedly belonging to the accused Mr. Palmer of a dog bite on his foot.
Metadata time of the photo was 7:09 pm at that time call data was shown that the main witness was in route on Red Hills road heading to Havendale, and the main witness had testified that Mr. Palmer got bitten while he was running after him.
Now could it be that the main witness was there before he was actually there? How is it possible that the main witness was in both places at the same time? When asked upon by the defense how is it possible, his reply was he does not know.
Now this said police expert gave evidence that he created a call data report on the 22nd of October 2011, and at that time was the first he was using the phone while he was examining them, but his report showed that he was being accessed on the 3,4,10,11,12,13,14 of October 2011.
When asked by the defense who had access to the cell phone during this time since October 22nd 2011 was the first time it was being used by him, he replied saying he could not speak on that.
The inconsistencies of this witness go further but I choose to end it here. Another witness was called by the prosecution.
This time it was the head of the Digicel group who was in charge of preparing the call data record that was given to the police to give to the court. He testified that he prepared two (2) cds: js1 and js2.
Now the js1 was a copy of the evidence collected and only to be opened in court for court use only. Js2 was the working copy which the police used to create evidence, however when the evidence was presented by the police expert, it was shown from js2 and that CD the head of the Digicel group said he gave it to the police for only working use was not for court presentation.
When asked by the defense how can the court verify that the information on js2 was authentic he replied saying it could only be proven with the original js1.
He also testified that the information on js2 could be copied and modified.
The defense then asked the court to present the original js1 CD at which the prosecutor told the defense and the court that the original js1 cd could not be found because it was lost.
Seems to me like all the evidence just got up and walked. The handwriting expert was called to testify by the defense team. This expert also works for the prosecution.
Now a letter was written by the main witness to the public defender stating that he was being forced by the police to give a statement against the accused men in Mr. Palmer’s trial.
He also included in his letter that he had indeed seen Clive Williams alive after august 16.2011.
The handwriting expert analyzed the letter by comparing the signature on the letter to over 39 signatures on the main witness statement produced by the prosecution.
The expert indeed said that the letter was signed by the same person. When the prosecution began to cross examine the witness, he told by expert that his examination was incomplete because he didn’t have the original statement of the witness’ handwriting, in which the expert replied he wasn’t given the original statement but instead given photo copies, the defense objected and ask the prosecution for the original.
The prosecutor told the court the original was missing.
The prosecution called a police cell site expert. During his evidence he testified saying he has a photo of the house navigated by Google Earth.
When questioned by the defense how he came up with the location he told the court he got coordinates from a photograph from a phone that allegedly belonged to Mr. Palmer.
In presenting his findings to the court, the house that Google pointed to was not the same house the alleged murder was said to have taken place but a house that was actually across from it.
When asked by the defense how that house came up he replied that he could not speak to that matter or maybe Google Earth was at fault.
On a next matter, how did the main witness happen to make out that Mr. Williams was lying motionless on the floor with Mr. St John standing over him with a block while he was running for his life all from a cell phone light?
Bearing in mind, the house was in complete darkness, how did the main witness run from such a short distance from the house to jump over a 8 foot gate and not sustain any injuries at all? (a talented young man).
A note book containing crucial information to the case just vanished. A video was shown in court, a video showing no faces, just clothes and tattoos. No murder was seen taking place on the video.
After it was put out by the media long before the trial started that the police have video evidence of the accused men committing murder. I have come to realize that people can sound alike..and people sound different over the phone even on a voice note.
Take for example the dancehall duo Twin Of Twins when they are in character 90% of the time they do sound like the person they are mimicking. With today’s technology, anything is possible including creating a fake text message or even making a fake phone call.
There is an application for that and it works, trust me it does because I have tried it and you cannot tell if it’s real or fake.
The prosecutor called another police expert that stated he was in charge of dealing with the text messages. He presented a colored chart to the court that was created by him showing text messages taken from a cell phone allegedly belonging to Mr. Palmer in a readable form but right before the court he changed the color and format in which the messages were sent.
Please note that he had earlier informed the court that the js2 cd was read only and that nothing could be changed.
