of stuff. i started small. and i then became the largest importer. he was very flamboyant millionaire here in london. he had a rolls royce. and then he began to get into horse racing. i was able to purchase a hundred horses. i had 12 trainers. kris was second biggest stable of racehorses in ek land, only the queen. having emigrated from trinidad, kris also mingled with members of parliament, gaining entrance into an upper crust, lily white society rarely available to immigrants of color. when i got arrested for these murders, members of parliament said we knew maharaj. something is wrong. he s been framed. kris first met the men he has been accused of killing when he began importing their fruit from jamaica. after years of doing business together, derrick moo young
he had been sentenced to death, gone up to the supreme court on appeal to the u.s. supreme court and came back down. so my first thought was, oh my goodness. how did i let myself into this? despite his reluctance, he met with the man he presumed was guilty. they don t know you, they don t trust you. kris was one of the rare people who insisted on giving me an a to z lecture that he didn t do it. i found that quite convincing. but the evidence against him was pretty strong at the time. as a former cop, ron patrillo had doubt about the innocence when he joined the case. initially, i thought kris just killed these guys but i m looking to see where the evidence takes me and it didn t add up. the deeper i got into the investigation, it began to dawn on me that kris was innocent.
something he did not do. while fred may believe the cops in kris case were on the take he has never identified the individuals involved. no evidence has ever been presented in court to substantiate his claim. but recently, some of clive s suspicions about who killed the moo youngs were confirmed when he sent a man to speak to the man who was involved. jaime mejia was plagued by men with four years when he discovered that he ran afoul on the drug smuggling operation, and said the moo youngs had to be dealt with. i visit kris every week. i don t tell people about kris case. i don t discuss kris case
where the little things mean everything. maharaj was put on death row for the murders of derrick and duane mao young in florida, he was living a life of luxury in england. kris had come to england when he was quite young. worked incredibly hard and had become a millionaire. in england, kris married and had four kids while working his way from a truck driver to a business magnate. i was in business, all sorts
be a murder/suicide, and then you have somebody else fingered for it. clearly jaime mejia supervised it. but the courts were not the least beat interested in the evidence. innocence was not the issue. one of the bizarre things that americans have no idea about is whether you re innocent or not is not a legal issue. you go into court and say my guy is innocent, they say well, too bad, mate, that has nothing to do with it. and the judge actually said that in kris case. but clive did manage to produce a document into the proceedings that the courts could not ignore. a document showing that the death sentence had been issued by some other judge.
