Agriculture Minister Floyd Green faced a second bout of grilling from attorney-at-law Hugh Wildman during the Home Circuit Court murder trial of six policemen on Tuesday, with the minister being asked to give specific details on what he said he recalled about the 2013 shooting deaths of Matthew Lee, Mark Allen and Ucliffe Dyer.

Lee, Allen and Dyer, who were travelling in a blue Mitsubishi Outlander motor vehicle, were shot dead by the police during an alleged shootout on Acadia Drive very close to the intersection with Evan’s Avenue in Barbican St Andrew on January 12, 2013.

Two illegal firearms were allegedly seized by cops. A fourth man was said to have escaped.

Green, who is one of two alleged eye-witnesses to parts of the shooting incident involving the cops and the now three deceased men, was the first to take the stand when the trial began in January.

After he ended his testimony, he was informed that it was highly likely he would be recalled as a witness.

He was recalled on Friday and was shown images of the crime scene for him to point out to a seven-member jury, what he said he saw and the exact spots where certain things were purported to have taken place during the shooting, including where the deceased fell after being shot.

Green had claimed during his testimony in January that he saw from his bedroom window in the apartment complex where he lived in 2013, a Toyota Corolla motor vehicle – a ‘King Fish’- arrive at the scene and shots being fired towards a man in a white shirt who was sitting on the ground behind the Mitsubishi Outlander.

Wildman began his cross-examination of the witness on Tuesday and he asked the minister to say whether he in fact saw a man in a white shirt behind the Outlander being shot by someone who emerged from a ‘King Fish’.

“Someone came out of the King Fish and shot in that direction, the direction of the man in the white shirt,” Green said in response to Wildman’s question.

Wildman proceeded, asking the witness if he saw the same man who allegedly came out of the ‘King Fish’ drag an Indian man out of the blue Mitsubishi Outlander.

Green said “yes”.

“You heard explosions at that time?” asked Wildman.

In response, Green said, “When the Indian man was pulled out of the car, there were explosions happening”.

The attorney asked the minister to tell the jury if he knew how a man who he said jumped over a green wall and into a yard met his demise.

“The man went over the wall, fell in the yard and gunshots were fired in his direction. I can only tell you that gunshots were fired and the next thing I saw, he was on the ground,” Green claimed.

Referencing images of the crime scene that were shown on a screen to the jury, Wildman asked Green if he agreed that the Outlander was parked close to Evan’s Avenue which runs off Acadia Drive and whether he had seen the avenue while the incident was unfolding.

“Did you see the avenue on that day?” Wildman asked.

Green acknowledged that the photos indicate that there was an avenue close to where the vehicle was parked, but he said he was “not familiar with that avenue” at the time of the incident.

“I never asked you whether you were familiar with it. Did you see the avenue there on the day of the incident? That is the question,” Wildman insisted.

Green told the attorney and the jury that as he earlier indicated, he was not familiar with the avenue at the time of the incident and that he was not focusing on it.

“My focus was not on the avenue. When I came [to the window] and looked out, clearly I was looking at what was happening,” the minister said.

Wildman asked the court registrar to bring up photo number 23, exhibit 2 on the screen for it to be shown to Green and the jurors.

After looking at the screen, Green said, “I have looked at it”, prompting Wildman to ask him if he was willing to accept that the Outlander was in fact parked close to the corner of Evans Avenue.

“I accept that the car is parked close to the avenue,” Green said.

Wildman, who began to increase pressure on Green during cross-examination found himself being reprimanded by trial judge, Sonia Bertram Linton for what she deemed was the attorney being rude to the minister.

This reprimand emanated from a question posed to Green by Wildman regarding his ability at the time to see certain aspects of the incident from his bedroom window on the third storey of the apartment building he lived on.

Green who appeared peeved said, “Mr Wildman,” while looking at the attorney who told the minister to stop repeating his name

Bertram-Linton told Wildman that he was rude and that the tone he used to the minister was improper.

“There is no need for you to do what you just did. Withdraw it. It is as simple as that and don’t start arguing with me. You are not going to win because that is not how the court is structured. It is structure for the judge to rule and for you to comply. Just simply comply sir.

“That is how the court is structured and those are the rules we abide by and the rules are there for a reason even when we don’t like it. The rules are the rules. There are lots of rules that we don’t like inuh. You see 50 miles an hour, but you want to go 80. But you see the policeman over there so you go down to 50. You just do it because you don’t want the ticket. Your tone was not correct,” Bertram-Linton said.

On trial for murder are Sergeant Simroy Mott, Corporal Donovan Fullerton, along with constables Andrew Smith, Sheldon Richards, Orandy Rose, and Richard Lynch. Corporal Fullerton is also charged with making a false statement to the Independent Commission of Investigations.
