Alex Griffith, the East La Penitence teen who was shot in his mouth by a policeman last week, yesterday identified the lawman responsible during an identification parade at the Brickdam Police Station.
The ID parade was conducted one week after the shooting of Griffith, 15, who has accused the policeman of shooting him while playing Russian roulette with him as he sought to interrogate him about the identities of suspects in a robbery.
His mother, Marcel Griffith told Stabroek News that Alex, who was accompanied by activist Mark Benschop, identified his alleged attacker. According to Benschop, all officers in the Identification parade were dressed in a khaki police uniform and were made to speak. Alex subsequently positively pointed to an officer from the lineup.
Benschop told this newspaper that the police attempted to have Marcel identify the lawman
