When he took the witness stand last week, Former military officer, Captain Shane Stevens kept telling DPP lawyer, Pita Bulamainaivalu that he can't recall anything in relation to the plans to conduct a mutiny at QEB in November 2000, in the Takeiveikata trial.
Despite repeated questions by Bulamainaivalu, Stevens maintained that he cannot reveal the agenda of the meetings.
Even when his statements were shown to him in open court and after reading his own statements saying that he met with Takiveikata and others at his home in Namadi Heights and Nausori about the change in the interim government and Army Commander in 2000, Stevens either said he cannot answer the question or he can't recall anything.
Stevens maintained this stance even when directed by Justice Gounder to answer the question on what was the agenda of the meeting at Namadi Heights.
Justice Gounder also directed Stevens that he should answer the question and that it was a directive by a Judge to him to reveal the information.
However Stevens maintained his stance in court.
That was Shane Stevens being questioned during the trial.
