has landed him in the Supreme Court.

This came during day three of the trial of 37-year-old Appleby Spurling and Kempe lawyer Allan (Shaun) Morris who is charged with causing the death of another man through dangerous driving.

Morris, of Verdmont Valley View, Smith's, has pleaded not guilty to causing Marvin Bean's death.

The incident allegedly occurred around 2.20 a.m. on May 28, 1995 on Palmetto Road in Devonshire.

Sgt. Peter Morgan yesterday told the court that Morris, in a statement on May 31, said he was "completely traumatised'' by the accident.

And the officer said Morris insisted the incident was an accident, but refused to discuss the matter any further.

During a second interview on June 1, Morris told Police the incident "continues to bother me to this day'' and stressed it was an accident.

On Tuesday the jury heard that physical evidence indicated the impact occurred on the grass verge at Palmetto Road, some 10 metres from the resting place of Mr. Bean's body. But Morris told Police he hit Mr. Bean some 28 metres away from where Police estimated the impact took place.

Ch. Insp. Roger Kendall suggested Mr. Bean was struck on the right leg, while the car was braking and turning to the right, and this caused his body to fall back to the right.

He added that Mr. Bean's head struck the top front corner of the windshield and frame.

But during lengthy cross examination by Morris's lawyer Delroy Duncan yesterday, Ch. Insp. Kendall admitted the accident's point of impact could not be accurately determined.

And it was revealed that a piece of debris, that was found some 15 feet from the main cluster of debris, was not factored into Ch. Insp. Kendall's calculations when he determined the point of impact.

But he argued: "I disagree with the suggestion that this sole piece of glass would adversely effect the opinion I gave earlier in relation to the possible point of impact.'' Ch. Insp. Kendall, however, said he could not account for how the piece arrived at its location.

"... it is inconsistent with the spray pattern of the other pieces,'' he added.

He also admitted that he did not know if Mr. Bean was walking or standing at the time of the incident. But he maintained that the effect on the distance the victim was thrown would be "negligible''.

He said he felt "to a high degree of certainty'' that the accident happened as he suggested.

Ch. Insp. Kendall estimated Morris was traveling at 35 to 40 kph at the time of the accident.

The trial continues today.
