The Ceremonial opening of the October 2012 session of The Berbice High Court was staged on Tuesday with the usual pomp and ceremony outside the Berbice High Court building on Esplanade Road, New Amsterdam.
Leading the parade was a 29-strong female contingent. The salute and inspection were taken by Justice Roxanne George-Wiltshire who is presiding in the October criminal sessions of the Berbice High Court.  She was accompanied by Justice Franklyn Holder who is presiding over the civil court. They were escorted by Commander of B division Assistant Commissioner Derek Josiah and Cadet Officer Jermaine Dufu.
The all female police guard of honour was led by woman Assistant Superintendent of Police A. Barnwell and woman Inspector Yonette Stephens. The sergeant was Cynthia Kelly. Also accompanying the parade were Senior Superintendent Clifton Hicken, Superintendent Kevin Adonis, Deputy Superintendent W. Parsram, Cadet Officer Alistair Roberts and Sergeant Michael Newland.
Forty-nine cases are listed for the session, among them 10 murders, seven manslaughter cases, four for attempt to commit murder, four for causing grievous bodily harm, felonious wounding, robbery under arms,  four rape cases, 13 carnal knowledge cases, one case of sexual activity with a child, two cases of possession of firearm and one case of arson.
In court Justice George took the opportunity to address the jurors present who numbered over 100. She congratulated them for their large turnout.
The Judge then empaneled the jury in the matter of Herman Ally called ‘Shark Oil’ 63 of Rose Hall Town, Corentyne who is accused of murdering fellow Rose Hall Town resident, Randal Sandy, of Sabsook Street, sometime between Thursday October 5 and Friday October 6, 2006.
