A prosecutor in the Uchence Wilson Gang trial on Friday argued that Fitzroy Scott, believed to be second in command in the gang, had another name which he had used to communicate with others via a cellular phone, and asked the judge to accept that as a reasonable inference.

The prosecutor also asked the judge to accept that Scott’s girlfriend, accused Tashina Baker, was the person who was referred to as “Tash”, during a message sent from the unknown number, believed to be used by Scott under another name.

The Crown, which was responding to the no-case submissions from defence attorneys, specifically as it relates to electronic evidence derived from telephone numbers ascribed to the accused or from numbers that were found on devices seized, argued that Baker had responded to the message in which the person was being addressed as ‘Tash.”

As it relates to Scott, the Crown indicated that two phone numbers had been assigned to Scott and that Witness Two had testified that he had contacted Scott on one of those numbers while Scott had identified himself during a text message from the second number.

Additionally, the prosecutor said that there was an unknown number using a particular name. Interestingly, he pointed out, when that number was called by one of the investigating officers the person who answered gave the same name as the caller from the unknown number.

Further to that, the prosecutor recalled the evidence of the investigating officer who indicated that when he went to the Central Police Station shortly after he saw Scott whose voice he recognised as the same person who had given him the name from the unknown number.

The prosecutor also indicated that the same number was placed inside a cellular phone that was stolen from one of the robbery victims and that reputed gang leader, Uchence Wilson, had confessed that he and Scott went on that robbery.

Furthermore, the prosecutor also indicated that a number that was ascribed to accused Devin Taylor was then used in the same stolen phone and argued that it would not be far-fetched for both alleged gang members to be using the same stolen phone.

Additionally, the prosecutor also told Justice Bryan Sykes that during a message sent from the unknown number, the user had identified himself using the same name while also pointing out that he was “Devin’s” (Taylor) friend and that he drives a black car and the evidence before the court is also that Scott had a black Honda car.

Wilson and 20 other co-accused and two women inclusive of Wilson’s companion Shantol Gordon, as well as two former employees of a pawn shop in Kingston, are being tried for various offences under the Criminal Justice (Suppression of Criminal Organisations) Act, commonly referred to as the Anti-Gang Legislation and the Firearms Act.

The prosecution will today continue to try to convince the judge to draw the inference from the evidence presented that Scott went by another name, which he had used when communicating from an unknown number.
