The Caribbean Jamaica’s Senate starts debate on decriminalization bill to pave way for medical marijuana

The 56-year-old woman's throat was slashed and an autopsy this week found blunt force trauma to her head.

Campbell's family originally was from Jamaica.

KINGSTON, Jamaica _ Jamaica’s national security minister says the Caribbean island saw double-digit decreases in every crime category last year, including a 16 per cent drop in homicides.

Peter Bunting says the 1,005 slayings recorded last year was Jamaica’s lowest annual total since 2003 and represents a 40 per cent reduction over the previous five years.

In a Tuesday speech in parliament, Bunting partly attributed the success to “changing the paradigm of policing.’’ He says a community policing approach with officers working to develop trust in neighbourhoods is starting to replace a paramilitary style of law enforcement.

But Bunting says a rise in homicides this month shows the situation is fragile. So far in 2015, the island of 2.7 million people has averaged 3.2 murders a day compared to 2.7 for all of 2014.

US Coast Guard rescues 2 American boaters stranded on tiny uninhabited island in Bahamas

KINGSTON, Jamaica _ A Jamaican man has been arrested and charged with the killing of a retired teacher from New Jersey who had a second home on the Caribbean island.

Police announced Thursday they have arrested Maurice Palmer, a labourer who lives near Campbell's modest Jamaican house close to Old Harbor. It was not immediately known if he had a lawyer.

Jamaican police say Glenda Campbell's body was found Jan. 9 near the shore of a fishing beach located less than an hour's drive away from her residence in south-

Dominican Republic adds 600 troops to Haiti border to deter migrants amid fears of instability crossings between the countries that share the Caribbean island of Hispaniola.

KINGSTON, Jamaica _ Jamaica’s Senate has started debating a bill that would decriminalize possession of small amounts of pot and establish a licensing agency to regulate a medical marijuana industry.

Justice Minister Mark Golding introduced the legislation to the upper house and discussions began Friday.

The bill would establish a “cannabis licensing authority’’ to deal with regulations on cultivation and distribution of marijuana for medical, scientific and therapeutic purposes.

Possession of 2 ounces or less would become a petty offence that would not result in a criminal record. It would also give Rastafarians special privileges to use the drug for spiritual purposes.

Sen. Tom Tavares-Finson said the opposition supports the bill overall and is “happy with the progress that is being made.’’ But he says sections dealing with Rastafarians are problematic.

NASSAU, Bahamas _ The U.S. Coast Guard has rescued two American boaters stranded on a tiny uninhabited island in the Bahamas.

The two U.S. citizens were moving a motorboat from the Turks & Caicos Islands to the Florida city of Fort Pierce when the vessel began taking on water. They ran the struggling boat aground on Lady Slipper Cay, a tiny speck of land north of Crooked Island in the sprawling archipelago off Florida’s east coast.

A Coast Guard helicopter crew rescued the pair Tuesday at the remote Bahamian island after receiving a request for assistance from the Caribbean country’s military.

KINGSTON, Jamaica _ Jamaican authorities are preparing to extradite a fraud suspect to the U.S. to face charges of allegedly participating in a lottery scam that fleeced thousands of dollars from elderly Americans.

The Jamaica Constabulary Force said Thursday that it will be the first lottery scam extradition since the transnational fraud became entrenched in the island’s underworld years ago.

Police identified the suspect as 28-year-old Davion Barrett of St. James parish, where many of Jamaica’s scam rings have been based over the years.

Last year in a Florida federal court, Barrett’s alleged accomplice was sentenced to five years in prison for running a lottery scam that targeted elderly Americans who were told they had to pay fees to collect their winnings. But the sweepstakes were bogus.

Vision/ Winter 2015 Music Lil Wayne sues mentor 'Birdman' record label for $51M, seeking to break away from Cash Money

Money failed to pay Lil Wayne a 49 per cent share of net income derived from the sale of solo recordings by rapper Drake for Lil Wayne's partial ownership of the Young Money label, despite Drake's rise as one of the bestselling recording artists in recent years.

Nicki Minaj is also signed to the label.

NEW YORK _ Rapper Lil Wayne has had it with his record label. He's suing Cash Money Records for $51 million after claiming that it stiffed him for $8 million on a record he delivered last month.

In the federal lawsuit filed Wednesday, the Grammy Award-winning performer asked a Manhattan judge to nullify contracts he has held with the company since November 1998.

Born in New Orleans as Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., the 32-year-old rapper said in the lawsuit that his relationship with the label has been deteriorating over the last four years, with Cash Money failing to live up to contractual promises regarding monthly accounting statements and the timely payment of profits owed to Lil Wayne.

The lawsuit said the problems worsened since 2012 as Cash

It said Cash Money also is claiming millions of dollars in marketing expenses for the Young Money label even though it is required to obtain approval from Lil Wayne for expenses greater than $300,000. And it said the company is preventing artists recommended by Lil Wayne from being added to the Young Money label and is failing to pay third parties involved with the Young Money label, leading to lawsuits and additional costs.

A New York lawyer for Cash Money did not immediately return a message seeking

comment. The label was co-founded by Lil Wayne's mentor, Bryan “Birdman'' Williams. A spokeswoman for Birdman and Cash Money did not return a message seeking comment.

A rapper since childhood, Lil Wayne released his first solo album, “Tha Block Is Hot,'' in 1999. He lives in Florida now.

The Young Money label is based in Miami.

The Cash Money website is promoting the upcoming release of the record Lil Wayne finished last month, “Tha Carter V,'' one of the most anticipated records of the past year.

Lil Wayne said last year it was likely to be his last solo album. “Tha Carter IV,'' released in 2011, sold nearly 1 million albums the first week of its release.

His wish won't come true anytime soon.

With Wade and Luol Deng (calf) already out for Friday at least, Miami will almost certainly use a 19th different starting lineup in 46 games.

The Heat have had 10 different players miss time this year with illness or injury, and the total of man-games lost to such problems will climb to at least 106 on Friday night.
