Court acquits man accused of shooting Mad Cobra
Tuesday, May 10, 2011
TWENTY-three-old Jameel Johnson was last Thursday acquitted in the High Court Division of the Gun Court of the shooting and injuring of local dancehall artiste Mad Cobra.
Johnson was cleared of the charges of illegal possession of a firearm and shooting with intent after the crown offered no evidence against him. The Crown was unable to establish a link between Johnson and the shooting incident.
The unemployed Johnson of a Portmore, St Catherine address was arrested in June last year following the May 11 shooting of Mad Cobra, whose given name is Ewart Brown.
It had been alleged that Johnson, also known as ‘Spragga’, was among a group of men in Braeton, St Catherine, involved in the incident in which the entertainer was shot several times. He was offered $150,000 bail pending his trial.
Cobra was unable to say with certainty who had fired upon him.
Thursday, attorney Chris Tavares-Finson told the Observer that he was “happy with the outcome” of the case. “It was clear from the very start that the prosecution would have had a difficulty in creating a nexus between my client and the actual incident,” he said.
