A video was shown to The Tivoli Enquiry commission of Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke sitting on a bed inside a cell at the Jamaica Defence Force’s headquarters, Up Park Camp.
In the never-before-released video, soldiers are seen inspecting the cell while Coke, decked in a white polo shirt, sat on the bed looking relaxed as he leaned back on both hands.
He engaged the soldiers in a seemingly friendly conversation and assured them that he would not try to escape. He asked about seeing his attorney and was told by Lieutenant Colonel David Cummings that arrangements are being made for him to see his lawyer.
Another picture was shown of a smiling Coke standing in the cell.
The enquiry was also told of a letter from Coke’s attorney, Tom Tavares-Finson, commending the soldiers for the way in which Coke was treated while in their custody.
Child abuser and killer says he is being tortured in jail by fellow inmates.
Well, well, well… the big bad child abuser is now begging for protection from the courts! IMAGINE THAT….
This punk was a “tough guy” when he was abusing and torturing that poor child to death, now he’s crying for protection from the real tough guys in prison.
Join the discussion.
A child killer has begged a court for protection, complaining that he is being taunted and bashed in prison because of his heinous crime Brok Hughes killed his partner’s three-year-old son Zane Bradbury by throwing him against a wall to punish him for ripping some curtains.He had regularly beaten the toddler and his two younger siblings, despite concerns being raised about his heavy-handed approach to discipline.Now he is being routinely bashed in prison and today asked Supreme Court justice Michael Croucher to suppress his name so the beatings can stop.He said since his incarceration last year he had been abused, bashed and threatened and lived in a constant state of fear of attacks by other inmates.He also said he was taunted by prison guards who told him he “should be raped and slaughtered all over the prison.”””
“I was called a f***ing dog kid killer,” he said giving evidence in the Supreme Court.“Every time there’s publicity, there’s always talk about coming into my cell and beating me up,” he said.
“I was being ridiculed by other prisoners, which led to people confronting me physically. I had to defend myself. I was taken down to solitary.”The court also heard there were fears for the man’s young son.But, siding with Director of Public Prosecutions John Champion SC who opposed the application, Justice Croucher said an order wasn’t necessary.Hughes has pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter over Zane’s death on May 9 last year.
He has also pleaded guilty to two counts of intentionally causing injury to Zane and his little brother Chase, who he beat on the face with a coathanger.The court heard on the day he was killed Zane had torn some curtains prompting Hughes to smack him, grab him by the neck and throw him onto his bed. As he landed his head hit a wall causing fatal injuries.Hughes told police later he tried to help Zane regain consciousness, but didn’t call an ambulance for more than 30 minutes.He remained alive in that time but paramedics, who were told Zane had fallen off the bed and hit his head, couldn’t save him.Hughes later admitted the killing to Zane saying the toddler was “being a terror”.“
I really wish this had never happened, I wish I hadn’t have thrown him, I wish I had have known it was serious enough to call an ambulance straight away,” he told police.Mr Champion will consider during the week whether Hughes should face a charge of child homicide, instead of manslaughter. Both offences carry the same maximum penalty.
As the Suge Knight Saga continues, Suge Knight decided that he wasn’t going to court to face murder charges because he was under the weather —so he didn’t!
According to the LA Times, after trying unsuccessfully to peel Knight out of his LA County jail cell to attend his mandatory court hearing, the judge on the case contemplated having him forcibly removed.
The judge eventually decided to delay the court appearance to coincide with the former Death Row label owner’s robbery case which was scheduled for May, 29.
Usually Suge uses his health as a “get out of jail” free card, but this time it appears that he used it to “stay in jail”.
Yesterday (May 27), Knight was scheduled to appear in court for his role in stealing a celebrity photographer’s camera alongside comedian Katt Williams on September 5. However, Knight’s court appearance was subsequently delayed after he refused to leave his downtown Los Angeles jail cell due to illness, according to Billboard.
Superior Court Judge Ronald Coen was reportedly close to having Knight forcibly removed from his cell, however he instead delayed the proceedings to coincide with a hearing in Knight?s murder case, which is scheduled to take place tomorrow (May 29).
Both Knight and Williams have pleaded not guilty to the charges…
