The prosecutor in a $250,000 cocaine possession trial likened the couple's reaction to Police finding the drug in their apartments as a case of "It Wasn't Me".

In a day long summation, Crown counsel Carrington Mahoney told the Supreme Court jury in Oshane Eugene Darrell and Jennifer Mederios' week long trial reminded him of reggae star Shaggy's 2000 hit, particularly the lyrics, "quick on your answer, know how to talk," because they offered explanations before he finished asking questions.

Darrell and Mederios, of 23 Seawall Drive, deny possessing approximately a quarter-of-a-million dollars worth of cocaine with the intent to supply.

They also deny possessing drug paraphernalia on the same day, November 22, 2002.

Darrell's attorney, Jamaican Queen's Counsel Frank Phipps, started his closing arguments with only four minutes left in the day.

He told the jury that Mr. Mahoney spent three hours attacking the defence's case and, "has yet told you about the strengths of the prosecutions case".

He asked the jury to go home and think about one thing: Police allege that they missed the lower bathroom, where the cocaine was found, in their initial search, adding: "Do you believe that trained Police officers who searched every room in that house to secure it could not have seen the bathroom?"

Mr. Phipps will continue his closing arguments this morning, followed by Mederios' lawyer Alan Doughty.

Mr. Mahoney spent the majority of the day reviewing the evidence and suggesting that Darrell and Mederios have repeatedly lied to the Police and the jury.

He said it was coincidental that 'twists' of cocaine, weighing 0.16 grams, are sold for $50 and Darrell happened to have 109 $50 bills in his night stand table.

The Police also seized approximately $5,500 in other bills from the same night stand.

He also thought it was also odd the pair tried to convince the jury that their downstairs bathroom, where the large amount of cocaine was found, is never used.

He pointed to a discarded towel on the floor and a half used toilet role and sarcastically stated: "Yet no one uses the bathroom ? ever."

Mr. Mahoney spent a considerable amount of time going through the pair's lifestyle and expenses.

He pointed out that each of them had a car, they had a new house, plane tickets abroad and $6,000 in spending money for the trip.

He reminded the jury that at the time of the raid Mederios was a 20-year old bank teller and Darrell was either unemployed or self-employed, depending on which defendant told the truth.

"Does this strike you as someone who is living beyond her legitimate means?" Mr. Mahoney asked the jury.

He also asked the jury to examine the behaviour of the accused the night their house was raided.

Neither Mederios or Darrell returned to their home to ascertain why the Police were there.

Mederios admitted that after her aunt told her of the Police raid she did not want to drive her car in case the Police were looking for her.

Darrell did not turn himself in until November 25 and told the court that he called his lawyer before he called the Mederios, the mother of his six-week old daughter.

Mr. Mahoney suggested that these were not actions of an innocent pair, saying they reacted like people who "knew they were in trouble".
