A pair of jeans found with gunshot residue on them after a shooting was linked via DNA to the accused man, a jury heard.The trial of Marico Bassett, 20, for the alleged attempted murder of Randolph Lightbourne, 44, has previously heard how police seized clothes from Mr Bassett’s home.Mr Lightbourne told police Mr Bassett shot him multiple times at the Charing Cross Tavern parking lot in Somerset around 5pm on July 23, 2010.He said he saw Mr Bassett’s face under the helmet visor he was wearing and recognised him as someone who allegedly hung out with the Money Over Bitches (MOB) gang in that area.Mr Lightbourne said he has family links with rival gangs and may have been viewed as a “snitch” by MOB.Mr Bassett was arrested in an armed police raid on his home in Loyalty Lane, Sandys, early the following morning. Detectives sent blue jeans and a white T-shirt seized during the raid off to America for forensic testing.The jury heard last week from forensics expert Alfred “AJ” Schwoeble that he found a particle of gunshot residue (GSR) on the inside waistband of the jeans. Another particle was found on the backside of the jeans and another one on the front of the T-shirt.Yesterday, the court heard from DNA expert Candy Zuleger. She explained she did tests on the T-shirt and jeans to try to find the DNA profile of the person that wore them.She told the jury this can be done by testing skin cells found on clothing items.In this case, Ms Zuleger said she found Mr Bassett’s DNA on the jeans. She found this by comparing the DNA on the jeans to a DNA profile taken from Mr Bassett by the police after his arrest.Ms Zuleger also found blood belonging to Mr Bassett on the jeans. She said there were three spots of Mr Bassett’s blood on the left lower leg of the jeans near the outer seam.She also tested the T-shirt and found a match for Mr Bassett’s DNA on them. Ms Zuleger said the results suggested Mr Bassett had worn both clothing items. She explained that no-one has the same DNA, apart from identical twins, and the chances that the DNA belongs to someone other than Mr Bassett is “slim to none, in layman’s terms”.Ms Zuleger also found Mr Bassett’s DNA on some bags that the police found some drugs in. The drugs were discovered at an apartment in Huntley Lane, near the Charing Cross Tavern, during the investigation.The trial heard on Friday from LaKiesha Wolffe, 29, who lives in the apartment. She told the jury she developed an intimate relationship with Mr Bassett from December 2009 until June 2010, when she worked as a barmaid at the tavern.She said they were not boyfriend and girlfriend but Mr Bassett had a key to her house, which has a balcony overlooking the tavern. She was off the Island at the time of the shooting, seeking medical treatment in Boston for her three-year-old daughter.She told the jury she was “stunned” when Police contacted her to tell her they found drugs and two bullets in her house during the course of their investigation into the shooting.Ms Wolffe said she does not use illegal drugs and does not know how the items got into the premises, but they were not there when she left for her trip overseas.According to evidence on Friday from Sergeant Kenton Trott, who was involved in the search at Huntley Lane on July 27, 2010, the two bullets were found on a shelf in the bedroom.The drugs were found in bags and wrappings elsewhere in the house. Yesterday, the jury heard from Government analyst Desiree Spriggs that the drugs were 23.95 grams of crack cocaine, 2.8 grams of the amphetamine BZP, which is not illegal in Bermuda, further amounts of BZP weighing 1.16 grams and 1.53 grams, plus some ecstasy, an illegal drug taken at rave parties.Firearms expert Dennis McGuire also addressed the court yesterday. He said that microscopic scratches on the bullets found at the scene of the shooting indicated that they were “probably” all fired from the same firearm.“It’s like a bar code pattern in the supermarket,” he said. “You cannot take a bar code on one product and match it with one on another product.”He said the markings of three of the bullets were identical, as were the markings on another two, but mutilation to the bullets prevented the two groups being matched together.He also told the court that the same firearm, most likely a 9mm automatic-loading pistol, has been linked to four other firearms incidents on the Island including one that occurred this year.Mr Bassett denies attempted murder, using a firearm to commit an indictable offence and possession of two bullets, and the case continues.
