Defence put to witness that he named Felecia Sheriff as the shooter

Jun 24, 2009 News


Main Street shooting death trial…
Yesterday when the Ashanti ‘Blondie’ Shultz trial continued, lead attorney Nigel Hughes continued cross examining the first witness.
Police Constable Kenton De Younge was further cross examined about the shooting incident. Hughes sought to establish whether De Younge after leaving Nero at the Georgetown Public Hospital, either went home or back to the Brickdam Police station.
On Monday, De Yonge testified that he went home after leaving Kenrick Nero, the shot victim at the hospital. However, yesterday he said he went back to the police station.
At this point the defence pointed out to De Younge that his statements were conflicting. De Younge then admitted to lying.
Under further cross examined the witness could not establish where exactly he went after the incident. At one point the witness said that he went back to the station, then home and even at the home of the accused.
It was put to the witness on Monday during his testimony that he did not discuss the incident with anyone. However yesterday Hughes put to De Younge that there is sufficient evidence from someone with whom he had a conversation that he told the person that one Felecia Sheriff was the shooter.
The cross examination is expected to continue today before Justice William Ramlal.
In February, 27-year-old Shultz was committed by Magistrate Oneidge Walrond-Allicock, in the Magistrates’ Court to stand trial for the murder of Kenrick Nero.
It was reported that Shultz and other women were involved in an argument, when she allegedly went to her car and took out the weapon.
She then allegedly fired shots in a wild manner, hitting Nero who died, and two other men, but missed her intended target.  Nero was said to be sitting next to a ticket booth close to the New Court Yard Restaurant and Bar when he was hit.
