More testimony is expected on Thursday [June 9] at the trial of two policemen charged with the murder of Carlton Grant Junior, son of dancehall artiste Spragga Benz.
Corporal Audley Lawrence and Constable Andre Hare who are attached to the Kingston Central Police Station, were charged in 2008 following an investigation into the controversial shooting.
Carlton, 17, was fatally shot by the police on Church Street in Kingston on the night of August 23, 2008.
The policemen reported that they were shot at after responding to a call that a woman had been robbed by men travelling on a bicycle.
The cops said they recovered a gun in the incident.
But relatives of the deceased strongly refuted the police's claim and insisted that the teenager was shot in cold blood.
Human rights group, Jamaicans for Justice, had also taken up the case.
However, defence attorneys went on the offensive on Wednesday [June 8] during cross examination of the main prosecution witness.
The witness, who testified that he was on the bicycle with Grant on the day in question, was accused by the defence of firing at the police.
They also suggested that in his haste to jump from the bicycle, he was the one who accidentally shot the teenager in the back of the head.
Four witnesses have so far testified at the trial before the Home Circuit Court.
