			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A policeman (34 year old Lowell Forbes) who accepted a bribe of $10,000 to release a motor car which he had seized, has lost his appeal against his conviction and 1 year prison sentence. Forbes was a constable with six years&#8217; service in the police force, when he was held in a sting operation in March 2007. He was found guilty in April of this year, and sentenced to 12 months&#8217; imprisonment each for corruptly soliciting $15,000 and corruptly accepting $10,000. The sentences are to run concurrently, so he will serve 12 months. Forbes was in prison pending the outcome of his appeal .. <a href="http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20101016/news/news2.html" target="_blank">full details here</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two Special Constables who were accused of accepting a bribe from a motorist, were freed when they appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate&#8217;s Court yesterday.</p>
<p>Special Constables Dwayne Stewart and Dwight McCarthy had been charged with breaching the Corruption Prevention Act. It was alleged that at about 11 p.m. on June 4, 2004, a motorist ran a red light on Hope Road in St. Andrew, and that the two policemen stopped him and demanded $15,000 in exchange for not prosecuting him. It was further alleged that the policemen told the motorist to go to the Half-Way Tree Police Station later that night to pay over the money to one of them. The motorist reported the matter to the Anti-Corruption Branch, and a sting operation was set up. The $15,000, in marked notes, was handed over to Stewart, and he was arrested and charged. When he was searched, the marked notes were found in his possession. The director of public prosecutions ruled in July 2007 that the policemen be charged.</p>
<p>In his defence, Stewart reportedly said that the motorist had given him the money to give McCarthy, and that he had formed the view that the motorist and McCarthy were long-time friends and that the money was a loan to McCarthy. Stewart said he was not a party to the discussion that McCarthy and the motorist had that night, and that even before stopping the motorist, McCarthy had asked him for a loan.</p>
<p>McCarthy elected not to say anything at his trial and rested on the prosecution&#8217;s case.</p>
<p>The Resident Magistrate, in freeing the policemen, said that she had reservations about the version given by the motorist as to how he paid over the money. She indicated that Stewart&#8217;s evidence left her in doubt as to what transpired that night, and so she had to resolve the doubt in the policemen&#8217;s favour.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A district constable, 47-year-old Alton Bennett, has been charged with seven counts of breaching the Corruption Prevention Act, after being accused of signing an accused man&#8217;s bail book in advance (i.e. without him visiting the police station as he is supposed to by law).</p>
<p>According to police reports, a man who was facing the court on certain charges, was granted bail. The man was ordered to report to the Duhaney Park police every day, but subsequently got a job that made it difficult for him to do so. The court heard that Bennett agreed to sign the accused man&#8217;s bail book for days in the future, and that he solicited various amounts, ranging between $300 and $400, from the man for this favour.</p>
<p>The man was reportedly seen by the arresting officer for the case, and certain enquiries were made. It was revealed after the investigating officer checked the bail book on June 3, that dates up to June 8 had already been signed by Bennett. He was subsequently arrested and charged, and appeared before the court recently, where he was granted $200,00 bail with one or two sureties and is to report to the Olympic Gardens Police Station three times a week.</p>
