Shyne, who is now the head of the Belize United Democratic Party, said he is trying to move past the conviction and his subsequent deportation; however, he’s “relieved” that more people are speaking the “truth.”
“Everyone knew all along that I was the fall guy,” he continued. “But my political enemies and, you know, detractors try to make me into, you know, this criminal. But everyone knew that I was a young kid that took the fall. Everyone knew that, that was the story. I’m just saying that I maintained my innocence all this time.”
“… I didn’t get into who did what, but the victim is telling you who did what and I understand that there are other witnesses,” he explained. “Fragments were never removed so there was never any forensic testing to say who it was, but the victims are vindicating me. Witnesses are vindicating me, but I have moved on, I am not trying to relive that. And so, I am appreciative of whatever contributions that Diddy has made to help the people of Belize. I wish him well and I pray for him, and I pray for the alleged victims. And if it is true, may justice be served and if it’s not, it’s a tragedy because a global icon would have been destroyed.”
