SC - incarcerated for assault and battery tries to prove Anthony Nealy should face the death penalty

The Prosecution also called 'SC' to take the stand in order to testify against Anthony Nealy. SC was called with the express purpose of proving that Anthony Nealy was capable of violence.

In fact, the only 'fight' that Mr Nealy had ever gotten involved with during any time of his incarceration was where SC physically abused a younger and much smaller inmate than himself.

Mr Nealy only became involved in the incident in order to defend the weaker party. This was witnessed by Cornelius Henry who the defense also failed to call in defense of Mr Nealy

Why was this fabrication not anticipated and dismantled by the Defense?

Anthony Nealy should have been provided with adequate time to prepare for several witnesses to attend court in order to testify that he had no record of injury, physical injury or prison history of violence.

It is clear that the defense attorneys were unprepared and were not communicating with each other. One of Mr Nealy's attorneys had been informed by the Prosecution the day before the trial, that SC would indeed testify.

However, when questioned by Anthony Nealy as SC took the stand, the lead attorney claimed that he did not know what was 'going on'.

In addition to this, the defense failed to inform the jury that SC was incarcerated in jail during that time for the offences of assault and battery
