That's the Commissioner's first cousin and today he called the sentence excessive and said he's not buying Flowers' account that he was offered bribes and threatened to get him to drop the case.

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"Mr Martinez took full responsibility for what he did, I believe he came to the full realization that he was wrong and he pled guilty to the charge. I personally believe that the sentence is excessive in nature. It's a matter for him to decide if he's going to appeal the sentence or not and I hope that police officers are watching. Again we're seeing a number of instances where police officers are being accused of committing different types of crimes and they will see that the court system is not playing when it comes to police. We started with Kareem Martinez, we saw an usual sentence likewise, excessively high, and then now we have Martinez. It's something for olive to look at to make sure they don't commit themselves."

"I have not seen a person in this country being sent to prison for wounding their first offense, I have not seen that happen, it's normally a fine."

Courtney Menzies:
"What do you make Flowers' comments that he was being bribed to try and drop the case, they were offering him land, they were threatening his life, his family?"

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"I think that is BS."

Flowers has maintained that he has recorded complaints and txt message proof of the many offers made to him to drop the case.
