“Note is taken of various commentaries being made on a number of social media platforms which are rooted in conjecture or fanciful assertions. The relevant concern and consideration must be for the police investigation to go unimpeded without any undue influence,” Champagnie told Observer Online on Tuesday.

Champagnie expressed confidence that even with the wild conjecture in the court of public opinion, his client will be vindicated.

“Mr Morrison is confident that at the end of such an investigative process he will be vindicated,” he added.

Morrison has been detained in connection with his role in an incident involving popular blogger Jhaedee “Jaii Frais” Richards at the Big Wall carnival party during which three persons, one of whom is a US citizen, were shot and injured.

One of the injured persons is a member of the entourage of dancehall artiste 450 who was critically injured, but survived the attack. The other was Richards.
