Poet's stanzas deliver [UK]:
Businessman Gassell Gordon, 55, decided against giving evidence and called Clarence Thompson MBE as a character witness on Thursday.
Mr Thompson recited a self-penned poem called 'Gun Street (To the memory of those murdered by the gun)', inspired by the anti-drugs stance he said defined Gordon. [...]
Mr Thompson, 64, from Streatham, told jurors he had several of his poems hanging in New York's United Nations building.
He said the five-verse Gun Street effectively summed-up Gordon's hopes that "drug barons, you will be dethroned".
