Accused murderer Derek Spalding penned “graphic and crude” song lyrics about guns and violence, a jury heard yesterday.The Surpreme Court trial heard earlier this week how the lyrics were found in his bedroom when Police searched his home in September 2007.Detective Constable Don DeSilva said they appeared to be written in Jamaican slang. Mr Spalding told police he’d written them while incarcerated in Westgate.He described them as “personal” adding “I don’t let nobody see none of that there.”His Pembroke home was searched by police because he was suspected of shooting Shaki Crockwell on the Railway Trail in Devonshire the month before.Mr Spalding was eventually charged with the crime in August 2011 and is now on trial at Supreme Court accused of premeditated murder and using a firearm, which he denies.The trial has heard prosecution witnesses allege that Mr Spalding committed the murder in revenge for a drug debt owed by Mr Crockwell, 25.Prosecutors yesterday shared a report with the jury which was written by Doreen Preston, a Jamaican expert in translating Jamaican creole into English.In her report, Ms Preston, who is head of the language unit at the Inter American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture, said she translated and researched the references in ten songs.“One theme that ran throughout the entire set of songs was that of the gangster culture,” she reported.She explained the main theme was violence, with references to guns of different types including high-powered weapons and their use.The lyrics made reference to crime-blighted areas of Jamaica and Bermuda, and the gangs and gang leaders of those countries.“The lyrics presented in the songs were of a violent and crude nature, including graphic descriptions of sexual activity,” said Ms Preston, adding that other lyrics spoke of torture, wounding, and the writer’s incarceration.She said they displayed a “blatant disregard for the authorities” and a dislike of informers.She said the lyrics referenced at least one murder that stemmed from this attitude towards informers, and also spoke of the writer trading drugs.Ms Preston was unable to appear in court due to commitments in her home country of Jamaica.Puisne Judge Carlisle Greaves told the jury that defence lawyer Mark Pettingill objected to her report being shared with the jury, but he had ruled that it should be.The case continues.
