A PRIME prosecution witness in Kadeem Blackwood's murder trial slashed a man with a machete because he thought he was a member of the A1 Crew.
Replica fendi wholesaleMarlon Donaldson attacked Richard Allen after seeing him and his friends walking past his mother's home wearing a purple bandanna - a colour associated with the A1.
Derby Crown Court heard that Donaldson had been the first to go to the police after witnessing his 15-year-old cousin, Kadeem's, murder. He has since told police he received threats of violence and death from members of the A1, leading up to the trial.
Kadeem was shot dead at Caxton Street recreation ground, Sunnyhill, on November 11, 2008.
The two men convicted of his murder were members of Allenton- based A1 Crew, rivals of the Sunny Hill-based Yunga Browning Circle Terrorists, with whom Kadeem was affiliated.
Donaldson told police that Mr Allen and his friends had been walking past his mother's home and he thought they had looked in the window. He had feared for his and his family's safety. But the court heard that Mr Allen was nothing to do with any gangs and the colour of his bandanna was just a coincidence.
Sentencing Donaldson to six years in jail, Judge Andrew Hamilton said he had considered giving the 19-year-old an indeterminate sentence but had decided not to because of what he had heard about him witnessing his cousin's "tragic death".
He said that if Mr Allen had been a member of the A1 he Cartier Replica Watches would understand why Donaldson would regard him as a threat but this would still not justify what he did.

Mr Eley said Donaldson had asked Mr Allen what he was looking at and said if he wanted to make "something of it" then he should go to a nearby car park. Donaldson had then pulled out "a 12in long machete-type knife" from his waistband and, before Mr Allen could say anything, he slashed it down the side of the victim's face, said Mr Eley.
Donaldson admitted wounding with intent.
Richard Sheldon, for Donaldson, said: "It was November 11, 2008, when this young man witnessed a gunshot murder. He was the first to approach the police and give information about the murderers."
