Under cross-examination, Mr. Johnson proved to be a most
unreliable and, at times, cantankerous witness. He was unable to demonstrate
precisely where he received the alleged injury; he denied his signature on a
witness statement and denied some of the contents of his three witness
statements. He said he signed statements but did not read them.
FINDING

Ms. Robinson lived at 4 Linton Place, Tivoli Gardens. Her evidence
was that, on 25 May, about 7.00 a.m., she was at home with members of her
family. “Shots licking and bombs dropping all over Tivoli”. She said that she
received a gunshot which tore up her left bicep when she was at her doorway
speaking with a neighbour, Mickey. She told Mickey she had been shot and he
used a towel to apply a tourniquet. Mickey took her to KPH. She said that, on
her way to the hospital, she explained to a soldier that she had been shot and he
replied: “Go back down; go dead!” She went back home and called a telephone
number for assistance. None came.
