The facts of the case
Favian Constance told the court that on the day in question (September 2, 2015) he left Carib Sand and Stones located under the Pointe Michel cliff between 5 and 6pm to go to Chemen Nef in Pointe Michel for his money since he was a construction worker. On his way he saw the accused sitting with Alfred “Quick Sliver” Frank he passed closed to them about 8-10 feet and then felt something hit him at the back of his right side and his left forearm.
“I felt a bit dizzy and then ran to the village and when I reached Lourt Bord a lady stopped me and spoke to me, I felt some cuts and saw bleeding in my forearm and head,” he said.
He stated that he was transported to the Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) where he was treated and admitted to the Alford Ward. “I spent a week there, I had to do surgery on my left hand because my hand was cut and the bone was fractured, my left hand was placed in a cast for six weeks, since I left PMH I have been feeling pain in my head,” he told the court.
He said that prior to the incident he had no problems with Dover. The state called nine witnesses in the matter.
Dr. Curlson George said he examined the patient at PMH and he had a laceration measuring 7 centimeters on the ulna aspect of the arm. “I noticed that there was bone involvement, meaning that thete was a fracture, there was damage to the muscles in the area. The bone presented mild active bleeding and because of that the patient needed to go to surgery,” the Dr. said. He was taken to theater where surgery was performed the doctor told the court.
Attorney at law Dawn Yearwood Stewart represented Dover in the matter.
