Thank you all for your kind words. They had my niece up and walking (with help) by yesterday afternoon. Her spirits are improving and she's determined that she'll be back to her former self soon. But it has to be one of the worst things to not be able to use your two arms.

I think Adams and his crew got off because of all the hell criminals have unleashed on Jamaicans. If they took a poll of Jamaicans today, I believe the majority would want Adams back on the street. It's a sad story. But that's the reality. And, as I've said before, criminals are not safe from the police when they go hide out in the country. So somebody must have dropped a dime on Chen Chen which brought Adams and his crew all the way up there. I have no doubt Adams warning to the criminal element is like music to the ears of ordinary Jamaicans. BTW, they murdered four people at a set up in May Pen over the weekend. One was the alleged murderer of Mr Azan and his stepson.

ADAMS FREED........But Crawle cops remain sidelined
Must undergo psychological tests

SENIOR Superintendent Reneto Adams and two more of his former CMU subordinates were freed of murder yesterday, and the fast-talking, tough cop immediately sent a message to criminals: he'll soon be back on the streets, so they better head for cover.

"I want to tell the criminal elements something this evening," Adams told reporters after a jury had declared he and corporals Shane Lyons and Patrick Coke not guilty and Chief Justice Lensley Wolfe set them free. "Those of you who have returned from England, Canada, the United States or the Caribbean... or from everywhere since we have left the streets... talking about they have returned to take over the streets, I am imploring them, beseeching them to return from whence they came because so as it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end."

Added Adams: "My men and I will continue where we left off and that is in protection of the Jamaican people against criminal elements. The only difference now is our resolve will be multiplied tenfold."

But for all his bravado, Adams, 56, may have a long wait before he even gets backs into uniform, much more back on the streets, given a statement last night from the police chief, Lucius Thomas, indicating that the Crawle Six - the policemen acquitted yesterday and three others, constables Devon Bernard, Roderick Collier and Lenford Gordon who were freed nine days ago - will have to undergo long periods of counselling and psychological evaluation before being allowed back on the force.
One one coco full basket.
