KINGSTON, Jamaica — Former Junior Energy Minister Kern Spencer and co-accused Coleen Wright have been freed of all charges in the Cuban light bulb trial.
The court ruled Monday morning that there is no case against the two.
Spencer and his personal assistant Wright were on trial fraud and money laundering charges in relation to the distribution of energy saving light bulbs, a gift from the Cuban government.
The case was dismissed after some five years in the court.

An den ppl wanda y ja cnt better, if him get weh den kartel’s case shud av been thrown out (not because he was innocent) but evidence were tampered with. Sameway di youths growing up thinking criminality is ok fi dem cause a dat dem cum see a mek money, a sameway dem start direct dem focus to getting RICH cause dem knw once u av money u can buy out any case. So I guess X6 killer(kill di sch yute) an maddam PM will be freed too (Trafigura scandal). JAMAICA NO PROBLEM
I am so upset it nuh funny this grave disparity with injustice in this country is what fuels crime and violence but in Ja’s history if u really look at it how many politicians have gone to prison for corruption? I cant recall any! Look at Roger Clarke weh kill the man and get off scotch free, I guess a Registrate can sentence a man for picking mangoes and Kern walks! no wonda dis country cyah betta
Do you know what it means to have a revolution?Equal rights.

Politicians in Jamaica know that the people will put up wid anyting, and that they will still get their vote. So the rotten cycle continues. Welcome to Jamrock !!!

God nah sleep, unnu ago get a wake up call. No justice a di new motto, unless u inna jacket n tie in a dutty paaliment.
stealing is wrong whether you be a politician or a hungry man.
Shame, shame, shame.
Coleen lucky she meet Kern an have daughter for him. Him a th best thing that ever happen to her because she is far from bright! Mi nuh know what her life woulda be like if she neva brown. Yuh know how Jamaican man love browning. So from being a country bumpkin in Mountainside St Elizabeth to driving a Range Rover, living in a mansion and having millions in the bank. Go deh Coleen! A who say high colour nuh mek people reach far
Now Kern invest him lightbulb money inna big TV Channel and she a host…my God she boring as a host. The truth is the truth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Jbr3QEhsR0
Georgia talk di tings cause it look like u waa talk it…a pink wall dis eno
lol Met yuh nuh easy. Me just a say she reach far. Not jealous but nuff gal nah come from nowhere and dunce (just like she) but because them dark skin no money man nuh want them. God knows how she did get inna UWI but she did and she BAGGED Kern an some other money men but Kern stuck aroun (*clears throat). Yuh know the typical browning frighten friday. From then everything get pay for. Mi glad cause she lucky….nuh wonda nuff Jamaican girls bleach smh. She now have a daughter for him, no ring yet though, wonder why?
kern is a nobody u know that…and u know him finger a nuh fi him own long time so him is nobody fi bag
Well she is a very very rich woman now since they swindled over 200 million Jamaican dollars. They are just working for fun now. Their daughter is set for life. http://instagram.com/p/lfvw1BPDd_/
omgg but it share up man
O gosh a dunno rasta me go school wit coleen n she neva bad dem time deh a must ol kern bruk har out but u caan swear fe nobody…kern a try keep up with him dr bredda n get d girl mix up inna thiefings a nuff money dem get tho wow…..
Yes Anony. but she is not stupid. She knew what she was doing. I heard she was quiet (an dunce) in high school but no one is the same way now that they were then. She was greedy just like him and now she is reaping the rewards too. They are richer than you can imagine. Can you even begin to imaging having 100 or 200 million dollars in your account? Can you imagine buying absolutely anything you want? Thats what being a ‘pretty browning’ in Jamaica gets you because this girl had nothing to offer Kern but that. They have been shopping and upping their lifestyle but because the case was going on, they didnt want to do too much, now Kern can buy a bentley if he wants. He can buy anything and the Jamaican people will always suffer and the people in St Elizabeth will keep voting for him just for handouts, very sad indeed
is not kern one get di money unno get di story wrong i tell u fi stop drop piece piece…paulwell name call and others got their share…u tink kern one cudda pocket that as a youngster pan di politics scene? at the time kern put 27 million in his account unno nah get di story right
If Kern went down whole heep a PNP ministers wudda go down so dem did haffi draw draw it out till everything dash whey
