By Latoya GilesRape accused Devon McFarlane called ‘Kang’ testified yesterday that he did not rape the security guard who has leveled the accusation against him. McFarlane, who is represented by Attorney Ronald Burch-Smith, is charged with raping a mother of three as she walked to her home in Bare Roots, East Coast Demerara, in the wee hours of January 11, 2009, having worked the 4:00 pm to midnight shift.The accused was called upon to lead a defence by Justice Roxanne George,Wholesale China Jerseys, who had earlier overruled no-case submissions made on his behalf. The Judge gave the accused three options: remain silent, make an unsworn statement from the dock or take the witness stand and give sworn testimony. He opted to take the witness stand.The accused, a father of three children, ages 6, 3 and 1 year-old, testified that on the night in question, he was at home with his wife and children and maintained that he did not rape the Virtual Complainant (VC).He claimed that on the morning of January 11, 2009, he was standing on a bridge with a friend when a police vehicle came up and an officer told them not to move. He was then asked to point out where he lived and he was taken by two officers, including Constable Tirat, to his home where they conducted a search for a white hat and a gun. They found no weapon, but they found a white hat which belonged to his wife and could not fit his head.The accused said he and his friend were arrested and placed in the lock-ups at Vigilance Police Station. Shortly after, a “tall” police officer said to him, “Rasta Man, let me see yuh penis,” and he was wondering if the officer was “gay” but then the policeman said that the woman had claimed she was raped by a man who had beads in his penis. He said he showed the officer his penis.The following day,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Outlet, he was taken to Court, and that was when he first learnt of the allegation being made against him.However, when cross-examined by State Counsel Renita Singh, who is associated with Judith Gildharie-Mursalin, the accused admitted that on the day of his arrest, he was told of the charge against him by Constable Tirat and he had denied same, indicating that he was a married man.He was cross-examined as to his not telling the police he was home with his wife that night and neither did he tell the Magistrate before whom he had first given evidence. The accused, who said he could not read the depositions, accepted from Justice George that such evidence was not recorded there as him having told the Magistrate that.The accused,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, who claimed he was working in the interior at that time,Cheap Jerseys Store, and is now employed at Puran’s sawmill at Non Pareil, said by way of explanation, that Tirat never asked him if he was home with his wife, causing the Prosecutor to put to him that Tirat never asked him if he was married, but he volunteered that information and similarly, he could have said he was at home. She also put to him that he was now making up this evidence for the first time since his arrest, but he denied this, and claimed he had told the Magistrate so. However, it was not in his depositions.McFarlane admitted he was wearing his wedding ring at the said time, but denied that a confrontation was held by the police between him and the VC,Cheap Jerseys China, where she had told him that he stuck her up with a gun and raped her and he was wearing his wedding ring. The VC and Constable Tirat had earlier testified about this confrontation.The accused also said he had known the VC from the area and that he would say “good morning and good afternoon” to her. He also knew the woman’s husband, a soldier, as they would drink together and he had visited their home for their wedding anniversary celebrations. The VC’s husband had testified to this earlier.Following his testimony, the wife of the accused,Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys, Shenisha McFarlane, testified that he was at home with her on the night in question. She said that at that time, her baby was five months old and she would get up during the nights to breastfeed him and she would wake up her husband each time she did so, so he could “keep her company.” On that particular night, she said she woke up sometime after 10:00pm, 12 midnight, and again after 2:00am. Each time she woke up, her husband was there. In answer to the jury, she said it would not have been possible for her husband to leave their home between midnight and 2:00am as she is a light sleeper and the door makes a noise whenever it is opened.The witness claimed she was not called by her husband’s lawyer to testify in the Magistrates’ Cour
