James Caines.

And lawyers are expected to be locked in legal submissions for the entire morning and early afternoon before the defence will get its chance.

Neither of the accused are expected to take the stand.

Sheldon Franks 32, of Dundonald Street, Pembroke and Teiko Furbert, 25, of Rocklands Estate, Warwick, are charged with murdering Caines on July 6, 1996.

Furbert's lawyer Archie Warner assailed Crown witness Det. Con. Terrance Maxwell's account of a conversation he had with the accused on August 9, 1996.

That afternoon, Furbert and Franks were to appear in Magistrates' Court when Det. Con. Maxwell said he had a conversation with Furbert.

During this conversation, Det. Con. Maxwell said Furbert told him he was prepared to go to Westgate because his alleged accomplice had talked to Police.

Det. Con. Maxwell said he took notes of the entire conversation and recorded Furbert as saying: "... I knew he would crack under pressure. If he didn't say anything I wouldn't be here now. I knew he would crack.'' Once he heard this assertion from Furbert, Det. Con. Maxwell said he warned the accused to be careful of what he said.

He admitted in response to a question from Mr. Warner that this was not a caution in the usual sense but he said the interview was not a formal one.

However, Mr. Warner challenged the accuracy of Det. Con. Maxwell's note taking.

Det. Con. Maxwell said he started to write as soon as Furbert began to speak and continued to write as he spoke.

He rejected Mr. Warner's suggestion he composed the notes from memory sometime after he spoke to Furbert.

But Mr. Warner pointed out Det. Con. Maxwell said in his statement the notes were made "subsequently'' to the interview.

When asked to define the word subsequently, Det. Con. Maxwell said "due to'' or "therefore''.

"If I were to say to you that `subsequently' means `after' what would you say to that?'' Mr. Warner asked.

"I would have to bow to your learning Sir,'' Det. Con. Maxwell replied.
