The Police arrested and charged Keiran Hutson, 22, for the larceny and receiving of a Samsung Galaxy S21 plus 5g cellular phone, valued $3,500.

He was also charged for stealing the phone case valued at $90 and an APUA SIM card valued at $20.

When he appeared before Chief Magistrate Joanne Walsh in the St. John’s Magistrates Court on Monday, July 18, Hutson pleaded guilty to the larceny charge and received a one-year prison sentence.

He pleaded not guilty to receiving the items, and that charge was withdrawn by the prosecution.

Reports say that Hutson attended the event at Fort James and went to dance behind the victim, whom he did not know.

Further reports say she turned around and pushed the young man away; but during that brief contact he had already picked her phone, which was in her rear pocket.

This offence reportedly occurred on July 16.

After the woman discovered her phone was missing, she used her sister’s mobile to trace the stolen device to a shop in the Craft Market and reported the matter to the Police.

It appeared that Hutson had taken the phone to the dealer to be sold. However, when he turned up to the store – apparently to collect payment – an officer was already stationed there to take him into custody.

Hutson told the court that he had found the phone.

However, this is not his first offence for larceny; a source says he has a previous conviction that did not warrant jail time. In fact, the source says, he was given a break on that occasion.

Because he was unemployed, the Chief Magistrate personally contacted an official from National Housing to offer him work and get him off the streets, the source tells REAL News.  However, Hutson never showed up to the job.

We must not take away their free will

Nobody should ban freewill. I strongly believe in God’s rule for us and that it includes same sex sexual relationship and marriages to be wrong. I agree it is wrong and will not be something I ever do. CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP FOR NEWS UPDATES.

However, I strongly believe in freewill. They have the right to choose and we can not force that upon them. Doing so is also tremendously immoral. Outlawing their rights to exercise freewill and supersed God’s choice to allow us to freely choose is wrong.

I will agree to then banning their freewill, if our freewill is taken also. We no longer can have sex prior to marriage. We no longer can have multiple women, we no longer can lie, we no longer can covet, we no longer can commit all the sins and wrongs we commit just like them no longer can commit their wrongs.

Again, I love vagina for a man, a man like myself deserves vagina but you know what I love more than that, the right to freewill that God gave us.

Base on my understanding of the Bible, in cases where the violations are not directly harming or causing imminent  and substantial danger to individuals, we should bar them from choosing but are only task with educating them of the moral and natural options.

We must not take away their freewill. They may use it in a manner we do not like but we must allow them to choose. Freewill supersedes so many aspects of society’s claimed rights.

Encouraging freewill does not mean I am in support of man with man or women with women (oh sorry, exclude the women with women, that might be a different story ha ha ha ha, that was a joke).

We just can not take away freewill. We do not have the right to and power to. God has that right and power to but he said the ultimate gift I will give you is freewill. Why take that gift awa? If you take it away from one, all must lose theirs.

I do not want to lose mine.

Police re-enact the crime scene in August last year at Juman Drive, Second Caledonia, Morvant, as part of the detailed investigation into the triple murder. – Marvin Hamilton

EIGHT police officers appeared before a Port of Spain magistrate shortly after noon on Tuesday charged with the 2020 murders of three men in Second Caledonia, Morvant.

Sgt Joseph Solomon, acting corporal Charles Budri, constables Sherwin Baptiste, Mark Lewis, Vaughn St Cyr, Kameel Mohammed, Colin Furlong and Shawn Lord appeared virtually before magistrate Brian Dabideen.

Seven of the officers appeared on a video link from the Besson Street Police Station while PC Lord appeared virtually from an unknown location.

The officers were charged by Supt Wayne Abbott on Monday night with the murders of Joel Jacob, 38, Noel Diamond, 46, and Israel Moses Clinton, 27, on June 27, 2020 at Juman Drive, near the Auto Guru building.

The seven stood side by side dressed casually and answered when the magistrate called their names and raised their hands. Lord was seated and was at first wearing a face mask before he removed it.

The officers who were last assigned to the Inter-Agency Task Force were part of a team of 18 officers who intercepted a gold-coloured Nissan Tiida hatchback along Juman Drive and allegedly murdered the three men who were reportedly unarmed and had surrendered.

The incident was captured on CCTV footage and shared on social media shortly after the incident. It also sparked widespread protests for three days in Port of Spain, Morvant, Laventille, Cocorite, East Dry River and other areas as people demanded justice and a thorough investigation.

The Police Complaints Authority had completed its investigation in the matter and referred its findings to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions. A special task force led by Supt Abbott was detailed to investigate and arrested the eight between July 14 and 15. All except one officer remained silent.

Attorneys Israel Khan, SC, Ulric Skerritt, James Caruth, Thalia Brooks and Arissa Maharaj represented five of the officers.

Attorneys Sheldon Maicoo and John Heath represented Lord, attorney Mario Merritt represented Lewis and attorney Wade Ceballo represented Budri. The matter was adjourned to August 16.

Twitter contre Elon Musk: premier face-à-face…

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Guadeloupe FranceAntilles

La bataille judiciaire entre Twitter et Elon Musk s’est ouverte mardi avec une première audience, une semaine après que la plateforme a lancé des poursuites contre le patron de Tesla et de SpaceX.

Le réseau social demande à un tribunal spécialisé en droit des affaires dans le Delaware (nord-est) de forcer le multimilliardaire à honorer son engagement de l’acquérir pour 44 milliards de dollars.

Twitter a souhaité une procédure accélérée, dès le mois de septembre, pour ne pas faire durer la période d’incertitude qui paralyse en partie l’entreprise.

Son avocat, William Savitt, a demandé à la juge de prendre en compte les risques de dommages pour le groupe californien si la procédure s’éternise.

Les avocats d’Elon Musk avaient déposé vendredi un recours pour que les hostilités ne soient pas ouvertes avant l’année prochaine.

Ils assurent que les experts vont devoir analyser “des montagnes de données” pour prouver, comme l’affirme le multimilliardaire, que la plateforme est truffée de comptes automatisés et de spams, bien au-delà de la proportion des 5% indiquée officiellement.

C’est la raison qu’Elon Musk avait donnée pour mettre fin unilatéralement à l’accord de rachat du réseau social qu’il considère comme une “place publique” essentielle à la “démocratie”.

“Ce sujet qui, selon Musk, va nécessiter un examen complexe est un problème inventé de toutes pièces, conçu pour compliquer les choses et causer des retards”, a argumenté M. Savitt.

“L’accord de fusion ne mentionne même pas les bots ou les spams”, a-t-il insisté.

“Nous soupçonnons que M. Musk veut retarder ce procès suffisamment longtemps pour ne jamais avoir à rendre de comptes. (…) Il sait que dans ce genre de circonstances, une justice en retard est souvent une justice non rendue. C’est même ce qu’il espère”, a-t-il assené.

– “Pas tendre ” –

Bien qu’elle traverse une crise d’image après des mois d’attaques et dénigrements de la part de son ex-prétendant, la plateforme part favorite dans ce bras de fer.

“L’action de Twitter est en forme” depuis le dépôt de la plainte, a noté Dan Ives, analyste de Wedbush Securities. “Il semble que de nombreux investisseurs qui l’ont lue en ont conclu que cet affrontement à la Game of Thrones dans les tribunaux va se finir par une victoire de Twitter.”

Par “victoire”, l’expert entend une décision de la juge qui forcerait Elon Musk à acheter l’entreprise au prix convenu fin avril (54,20 dollars de l’action) ou à payer des dommages et intérêts conséquents.

Les probabilités qu’il s’en sorte en ne déboursant que les indemnités de rupture de l’accord (un milliard de dollars), ou qu’il soit déclaré dans son bon droit, sont considérées comme très faibles.

Le contentieux dépend du Delaware Court of Chancery, un tribunal de ce petit Etat de l’est des Etats-Unis, spécialisé en droit des affaires. Sa présidente Kathaleen McCormick — la première femme à ce poste — s’est saisie du dossier.

“C’est une juge très sérieuse, qui ne sera pas intimidée par l’une ou l’autre des parties. (…) Dans le passé, elle ne s’est pas montrée tendre avec ceux qui font preuve de mauvaise foi”, souligne Adam Badawi, professeur de droit à l’université de Berkeley.

– La réputation du Delaware –

Dans sa plainte, Twitter a accusé Elon Musk d’avoir fait preuve “d’hypocrisie” et de “mauvaise foi”.

Les avocats de la société estiment qu’il a changé d’avis face à la récente baisse des valorisations en Bourse des entreprises technologiques.

Kathaleen McCormick est notamment connue pour avoir imposé à Kohlberg, une entreprise qui avait aussi tenté de rompre des fiançailles, de racheter la société en question, DecoPac.

Le destin de l’oiseau bleu, réseau social utilisé dans le monde entier par des personnalités politiques, célébrités, militants et influenceurs, semble avoir peu en commun avec celui d’organisations moins en vue.

Mais “ce n’est pas suffisamment différent, je pense, pour que le Delaware risque sa réputation en décidant de ne pas appliquer les termes de l’accord”, considère Adam Badawi.

Le multimilliardaire et le conseil d’administration peuvent encore choisir de se mettre d’accord sur un prix légèrement inférieur et éviter ainsi le procès.

“Mais ce serait un raisonnement rationnel”, remarque Adam Badawi, en faisant référence au caractère imprévisible d’Elon Musk.

Lors d’une autre affaire jugée dans le Delaware, Elon Musk “a montré sa volonté d’aller jusqu’au bout”, ajoute le professeur. “Et il a gagné. Je ne crois pas que son instinct soit nécessairement de trouver un arrangement.”
