The lack of training of the police force’s handwriting experts was brought into sharp focus last week during the continuing trial of accused drug trafficker Dennis Jones.
Jones, who was previously convicted for drug trafficking, is on trial on another charge alleging that he had possession of 10 grammes of cocaine for trafficking.
During Jones’ trial last Tuesday, police force handwriting expert Amir Mohammed revealed that he had repeatedly requested more training but was told that he had already been deemed an expert by the courts.
