Man said to be nephew of 'Dudus' turns himself in to police
Thursday, September 09, 2010
ANTHONY 'Musco' Jones, said to be the nephew of former Tivoli Gardens strongman Christopher 'Dudus' Coke, yesterday turned himself in to the police, head of the Flying Squad Superintendent Cornwall 'Bigga' Ford confirmed yesterday.
The 24-year-old Jones, a resident of Chestnut Lane in downtown Kingston, reported to the police a day after he was named a "person of interest" in relation to several incidents of murder.
Jones will be questioned by detectives tomorrow, but his lawyers, Marlon Gilbert-Roberts and Chris Tavares-Finson, yesterday expressed confidence that their client would be released afterwards.
"Based on our instruction, he's innocent of any and all allegations," Tavares-Finson said yesterday.
Police on Tuesday named Jones a "major person of interest", together with Tameka Hall, Howard Tinglin and Paul McCoy.

Nick, that talk show host was referring to the general population, not the exceptions to the rule. And, if you really looked at it, for these "dons" or associated acquaintances, they're able to afford these expensive lawyers, due to the fact that the funding from their participation in the criminal elements over the years afford them to do so. This is what will end up happening to the young and disenfranchised when there are little or no opportunities for them.

"There are no opprotunities in JA for youngmen", as one talk show host spew daily. I wonder where they get money from to pay for expensive lawyers when the police question or arrest them? I've read it in the news times over, they're poor parents had no money to send them to school, that's the reason for turning to a lfe of crime. How they come up with money to pay for lawyers when their kids are arrested? This blows my mind. I'm so puzzled.
