Darwen prison officer James Johnson accused of murdering friend feared 'rape' and wanted to 'regain control'
A prison officer from Darwen who is standing trial accused of murdering his friend has told a jury: "If I wouldn’t have defended myself, I believe I would have been raped."
Mr Johnson said they both had a similar sense of humour, adding that it was ‘dark’. Another walk was arranged with Ms Smith’s friend, Nikki Burns, and a WhatsApp group was later created, called ‘Meandering Babies’. Asked why he would play along, he said: “I didn’t want to seem like I was homophobic, I didn’t want to be that guy. I would acknowledge what he said but then play it down. Because he was a gay man, I didn’t want to offend him, I just wanted everyone to get on.”
“I sat down next to Dave and he got a plate and moved it towards me gesturing and it looked like there were a couple of lines of white powder. He pushed it towards me, I hadn’t asked and stupidly I took some. Just before, I asked: “is this coke” and he nodded and said yes. I then took a line. He was still holding the plate and he was smiling a little bit.”“[It was ] a sort of burning sensation up my nose. It was that strong I moved my head back like I had been punched. It wasn’t comfortable.
