SSP James Forbes guilty of corruption

Sat, May 10th, 2014

KINGSTON, Jamaica -- Senior Superintendent of Police James Forbes was convicted in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court a short while ago on a charge of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Magistrate Stephanie Jackson-Haisley handed down the verdict after reserving a decision on Tuesday. SSP Forbes is to return to court next Thursday for sentencing.

Forbes is alleged to have attempted to pervert the course of justice in a traffic matter involving businessman Bruce Bicknell.

The magistrate reserved her decision following submissions from Queens Counsel Jacqueline Samuels-Brown urged the court to find her client not guilty.

The attorney said that the prosecution hasn't proved its case against Forbes, and noted that the evidence of the Crown witness clearly showed his innocence.

Last month, the prosecution made its address, outlining that it has proven its case, and calling for a conviction.

The senior policeman is on trial for attempting to pervert the course of justice. The charge stems from a meeting he facilitated at his Oxford Road office with businessman Bruce Bicknell and two policemen who had ticketed Bicknell for speeding in 2012.

Bicknell was charged along with Forbes but freed on a no-case submission at the end of the prosecution's case earlier this year.

On Tuesday, Samuel-Brown told the court that Forbes, on the evidence, wasn't told that Bicknell had been charged and due before the court when the meeting occurred.

She said, however, that her client acted within force policy, as a senior officer, to ensure that great injustice wasn't carried out against a citizen. The crown witness, she said, had told Forbes at the meeting that he wasn't certain that Bicknell was trying to bribe him.
