Producer Jahvy charged in Big Wall shooting but claims self-defence

Music producer and artiste manager Jahvel “ Jahvy ” Morrison, one of the accused in Sunday’s shooting incident at the Big Wall party, has been formally charged by police following a question-and-answer session with investigators late Friday.

Blogger Jhaedee “Jaii Frais” Richards had been formally charged earlier.

Morrison, a licensed firearm holder, is to answer to the charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, wounding with intent and using a prohibited weapon to commit a felony.

The charges were confirmed by one of his attorneys, Richard Lynch, following the interview with police on Friday.

According to the Lynch, Morrison remains “calm and in high spirits” as the matter moves forward through the court system.

Also making up Morrison’s legal team are Sayeed Bernard and lead counsel Peter Champagnie, KC.

“He anticipates that he will be vindicated when the time comes,” Lynch told The Gleaner.

The attorney also indicated that Morrison is maintaining that his actions were in self-defence.

A date for his court appearance has not yet been finalised.

The incident, which occurred on Sunday, left multiple persons nursing gunshot wounds and has since drawn significant public attention.
