Tief From Tief , God Laugh

‘Tief from tief God laugh’ is a commonly used phrase in Jamaica, suggesting that if you fall victim to the things you normally perpetuate, it is justice, and is okay with God and man.

Well, two men in Jamaica who robbed a man of his sneakers and phone said they did it because the man robbed their friend on other occasions.

Byron Barnet and Damion Morris appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.

Allegations are that on December 6, 2008, the complainant was walking along Half-Way Tree Road when he was approached by the two accused who held him up and robbed him of a pair of sneakers, $2,000 and a cellphone valued at $2,000.

On January 10, the complainant saw Morris and pointed him out to the police. When he was questioned by the police, he told the police that the complainant robbed his friend before. The accused also returned the sneakers to the complainant and told the police that Barnet was one of the men who helped him carry out the robbery.

The men, although pointing out to Senior Resident Magistrate Glen Brown that the sneakers had been returned immediately and that they only robbed him because he robbed their friend, were remanded until February 9. RM Brown also ordered the accused fingerprints be taken and a probation report on both men.
