“Sir, is it, that’s over five pounds, five and a half pounds.  Is there any indication that he is a major drug dealer in the Orange Walk area?  We know that a lot of the murders there have occurred because of gang rivalry over turf.”

“I would not be in a position to say that other than to say that he was charged with possession with intent to supply other than to have only been charged with drug trafficking.”
