During an interview and in a statement, according to police, murder accused Romario Boxill confessed to shooting David Miller.However, when the murder trial continued in Supreme Court No. 3, Boxill’s attorney, Senior Counsel Angella Mitchell Gittens, insisted that her client made no such utterances, and objected to oral statements, as well as a written confession which she said was “obtained through force”.Boxill and Antonio Valentino Michael Joseph are charged with the April 16, 2015, murder of Miller, formerly of Vaughn’s Land, St Joseph.During his testimony, the lead investigator in the matter, Sergeant Carlos Hall, began to read from an interview conducted with Boxill on April 17, 2015, saying that the accused man had consented to the interrogation.The police witness said the accused had stated, “My lawyer, Carter, say I can talk.”At that point, Mitchell-Gittens interjected, making a formal objection to that “and all other oral statements following this one on the basis that they were not made by the accused”.Hall said that when asked about the shooting, the then 19-year-old Boxill replied, “All three of we went down there, and Lucian and the Rastaman was dealing with business. I hear someone shout for ‘help’ and I get out de car. Lucian and the Rastaman was scuffling and I draw my gun and shoot de Rastaman.”
