Sammy boy, yuh didn't have to have any legal training whatsoever to know something was wrong about what went down in that Brad Boyce case. Ah sure if yuh do some digging yuh goh find info on that whole thing....take a read and see....
On the question of independence, I remember when Gillian Lucky was appointed a judge (wasn't that supposed to be temporary?) I had a
moment. After all, didn't she campaign openly for the UNC and COP in the past two elections? Yes she was out of the political limelight for about 1 year after 2007 but still....
Also, another magistrate resigned about 2 - 3 weeks ago and offered himself up for screening by the UNC for this upcoming elections. The thing is I don't remember anyone making a hue and cry about it....
I think a lot of the weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth over the Volney issue is as a result of
1. People never forgave him for that Brad Boyce fiasco (not his only controversial ruling but the most memorable one).
2. People done think the coalition thing on shaky ground, to add a controversial figure to the mix like Volney is just asking for trouble.
3. It makes Kamla look like she preaching one thing (integrity, accountability, openess, good governance etc. etc.) and practicing something else. And yuh coalition done on shaky ground.
I know the man eh commit no crime but I still think Kamla swallow a grenade....in any event by election day we goh forget cuz ah sure between now and the 24th Patos goh but he foot in he mouth, the man just can't help himself.....
