Investigator positive Masa’s fingerprints were on gun
Washington took to the witness stand under oath as one of the key witnesses for the prosecution in the trial of Ramoamasagana 'Masa' Pemberton.
Masa Pemberton pleaded not guilty to gun and ammunition charges but was remanded to prison by Senior Magistrate Tamia N. Richards when he appeared before her on July 5, 2016.
Masa, who has become a popular figure on social media locally, pleaded not guilty to the charges of keeping an unlicensed Glock 40 calibre pistol and unlawful possession of explosives. Some fifteen (15) rounds of ammunition were allegedly found in the vicinity of the accused home about two months ago.
The local entertainment promoter and website manager was taken into police custody after forensic tests were conducted on the weapon and finger prints lifted allegedly matched that of the accused.
Today in court before Magistrate Ayana O. Baptiste-DaBreo, it was noted that the police investigators did not find it necessary to send the results of their finger print finding to be further analysed by an independent body.
The witness with over 30 years of experience in the area of analysing and dealing with finger prints said that it was not necessary for further confirmation of the prints as to him his testing was very strong and positive.
It was after Masa had turned himself into the Road Town Police Station and, during an interview, that he allegedly told the cops that he had no knowledge of the items. However, in a second interview, he allegedly changed his story when he admitted to having come into contact with the items at some point in 2015.
The trial will continue in the Magistrate's Court on December 6, 2016.

I Hope Masa really had time to seriously think about life and realised how much of a positive role model he can be; Yet the pressure of not looking soft can lead he right back to square one.
I'm not glad he's locked away I'm happy he's have time to think about life and acknowledge it was only his karma and a matter of time before it catches up.
Hope you're good. Not a hater just someone who wish I can tell you want the people who you called friends not telling you.
