He was led by Police prosecutor Sergeant Lionel Harvey. Stewart said that on the day in question,Nike NFL Jerseys China, November 12, 2011 at D’Urban Street he was walking home when he noticed McCoy and others placing photos of the PPP/C presidential candidate over photos of the APNU member, vying for the same post. He said McCoy was the one instructing them to do so.Stewart said he told McCoy that he should know better and advised that he place the photos over or under the APNU candidate’s photo. Stewart continued that an exchange of words was the result of his intervention into the placing of the posters.He said after McCoy started to take photos of him and told him that he was a marked man he walked away but McCoy jumped into his vehicle and started to follow him. After another exchange, Stewart said McCoy exited his vehicle, threw a punch which he evaded, and then pulled out a silver gun and smacked him across the head.Stewart said that he ran after becoming fearful for his life. He said he later joined a taxi which took him to the East La Penitence Police Station where he made a report.A medical report was presented to the court which Stewart said he received from the doctor at the hospital to return to ranks of the said police station.Woman Police Sergeant Roseanne Forde came to the court in the afternoon hours to present the medical report Stewart had spoken about. She was the one who had the document lodged at the police station. She related evidence as to what she did with the document and how she acquired it.The policewoman was later cross examined by Senior Counsel Bernard De Santos who is representing the defendant. De Santos asked questions pertaining to investigation procedures and certain actions which he said the police should have taken. Re- Examination was declined by Harvey.Stewart was recalled to the stand to identify the medical certificate and he was later cross examined by De Santos.Detective Superintendent of Police Melvin Chalmers was the last in the box to give evidence. In his testimony, he related that he made contact with McCoy some days after the incident. He said that he arrested McCoy and informed him about the matter.In cross examination, the senior police rank said he met McCoy at the Brickdam Police Station where he was looking after a license for his firearm. During the cross examination, the location given by the police did not correspond with the location the charge alleged.Apart from that it was revealed that McCoy did not have his gun in his possession since claims were that the weapon was lodged at the police station. Chalmers said he saw the gun there.When De Santos however asked Chalmers why the procedural act of seizing a weapon involved in any criminal matter was not done, the policeman said he was instructed not to do so.Harvey declined re-examination. The case against McCoy was subsequently closed and the prosecutor said that enough evidence was presented for McCoy to lead the defense.Prior to that, De Santos said that McCoy had no case to answer to since there was a conflict in locations as to where the alleged incident occurred. He continued that McCoy was not in possession of any gun on the day in question since the handgun had been lodged at the police station.
