Attorney-at-law Christopher Townsend
By Racquel Porter
The prosecution in the case involving dancehall artiste Skeng and the authorities at Norman Manley International Airport has been instructed to provide the raw footage of the alleged brawl by early next year.
Senior Parish Court Judge Lori-Anne Cole-Montague on Monday ordered that the unedited footage be made available by March 9, when Skeng is to return to the Kingston & St Andrew Parish Court.
The 21-year-old, whose given name is Kevon Douglas, is charged with disorderly behaviour and resisting arrest following an argument with a member of Port Security Corps at the Norman Manley International Airport in May.
In September, when the matter was last before the court, Skeng's attorney Christopher Townsend, complained that the footage had been edited.
Mr Townsend told Radio Jamaica News, following Monday's hearing, that a specialist confirmed his complaint.
This is important, he said, "because there's a part of the captured footage, which we thought would have contained the pepper spraying of Skeng. That was not on the footage that was given to us and was 'miraculously' left off."
Douglas's co-accused, Cara Wilson and Shaquille Kelly, also had their bail extended.
