identity, his lawyer told a Supreme Court jury yesterday.

Attorney Mr. Archie Warner told jurors the "vital ingredient'' of identification was missing and they could not convict Lightbourne of wielding a bat and injuring four men.

Lightbourne's trial has heard of a 2 a.m. brawl in the parking lot of St.

George's Beach Club after a reggae session in 1991.

Mr. Warner has suggested the fight was between posses from two ends of the Island who supported rival sound systems.

But a key prosecution witness denied it was a gang battle.

Yesterday the lawyer told the jury Lightbourne's defence was based on one thing.

"The key element is that identification is missing,'' he said. "This is a classic identification case.'' Mr. Warner said it was too dark to see what was going on that night, there were a lot of bats swinging and everybody was beating up on everybody else.

No-one knew who hit who, he said.

The trial has heard allegations that witnesses mistook Lightbourne for his brother Randy.

But Crown prosecutor Mr. Diarmuid Doorly said Lightbourne had been seen in the role of the aggressor.

There was a consistent story running through the evidence -- that Roger struck the blows and Randy acted as the peacemaker.

Puisne Judge the Hon. Mrs. Justice Wade began her summing up of the case, calling the incident a "major fracas''.

She will continue today, after which the jury will consider their verdict.

Lightbourne, 25, of Sound View Road, Somerset, denies wounding Aaron Woolridge with intent to do grievous bodily harm.

He also denies causing grievous bodily harm to brothers Sean Bobby Smith and Angelo Smith and causing bodily harm to Sean David Hollis, all members of Harlem Hi-Power sound system.

He has also pleaded innocent to fighting in public and having an offensive weapon -- a baseball bat.
