Another 10.968 kilograms of cocaine was reportedly found in his wife’s. The couple has been refused bail and was remanded to prison until their next court date February 13.Attorney-at-Law James Bond, who represented Jones, claims that the charge against him is bogus since his client is not Kenneth Jones, and he has not been properly identified by the relevant persons (the two suspects), as the person who assisted them.Bond said that Jones was brought before an Immigration Officer who said that he was the culprit. In addition to that, Bond explained that no one can prove that his client knew what was in the bags.He asked Police Prosecutor, Inspector Michael Grant if he could prove that Jones had the requisite mens rea (necessary thought to commit the criminal act), or that Jones had knowledge of the presence of any narcotics in the couples’ suitcases.The lawyer also said that the male defendant (Ramsuchit) admitted that the items in question belonged to him and not Jones.Bond said that his client turned himself into the authorities when he realised that he had been identified, and has since maintained his innocence. He submitted that Jones has no prior charges and requested that bail be set at a reasonable amount.The Prosecution, on the other hand, told a different tale. Inspector Grant told the court that a witness identified Jones as the man who presented the identification card bearing the name Kenneth Joseph, and the fact that he is not Kenneth Joseph, does not necessarily mean that he could not present a bogus identification card which identified him by that name.In addition to that, Inspector Grant explained that there is video footage from the airport that shows Jones to be the person who assisted the couple.Inspector Grant went on to propose that Jones knew exactly what was in the suitcases,Nike Air Max 97 Australia, and he took the couple to the airport and indeed produced a letter that allowed them to pass through the VIP lounge, without being searched.The Prosecutor concluded by saying that he has witnesses that can confirm his statements.Inspector Grant requested that bail be denied since Jones has a pending charge for forgery of the documents which he allegedly presented to the airport authority.The Chief Magistrate refused to grant Jones bail, and explained that this matter will be heard together with the case involving the accused couple on February 13.
