Lincoln George Brown, 37, of Rock Valley, Warwick, was found guilty yesterday in Supreme Court of bringing $234,960 worth of cocaine into Bermuda.

But Brown?s enraged and pregnant girlfriend wailed outside the courtroom, accusing ?these f***ing, nasty Bermudians? of treating him unfairly.

The four-man, eight-woman jury found Brown guilty of importing 939.81 grams of cocaine from Jamaica and of possession with intent to supply.

Brown, a Jamaican, has been a resident of Bermuda for 20 years and has no previous convictions.

He was arrested on April 5, 2003 at the Airport when Police found cocaine pouches taped to the back pockets of seven of eight pairs of jeans be brought in.

Brown previously told the court that he had received a black plastic bag from a stranger at Montego Bay Airport in Jamaica containing eight pairs of jeans.

Brown said that he did not check the contents of the bag before he put it into his suitcase.

He also said the bag came from a Bermudian man called ?Barney?, a man he only knew on a casual basis.

Brown claimed he was asked to bring the jeans to Bermuda to give to Barney?s girlfriend. He said he was only doing a favour for him.

In his summation, Puisne Justice Ian Kawaley urged the jury to decide the fate of the defendant based purely upon the evidence.

Mr. Justice Kawaley reminded the jury that the defence did not have to prove the defendant?s innocence. It was up to the prosecution to prove to the jury that he was guilty.

?You must bring collective experience of the world, everyday life and common sense when reaching a verdict,? he said.

He also reminded the jury that Brown did not have to give a statement to the Police and they should not let that influence their decision.

Crown prosecutor Anthony Blackman said he was happy with the jury?s decision to convict.

?I believe the verdict was consistent with the evidence,? he said.

Defence lawyer Shade Subair said she will be advising Brown ?with respect to sentencing and any possible appeal points?.

She also asked that a social inquiry report be prepared before sentencing.
