A lopsided justice system
Dear Editor,
We the people, the real custodians of the judiciary, really need to put our strengths together to rid the judiciary of the unseen forces that hinder the judgement of our professionals in all arms of the judiciary from doing what we are paying them to do. A case may best explain the unusual behaviour.
Mr Best, a friend of mine was charged with threatening language and provoking the breach of peace. The offences allegedly took place on the East Bank of Demerara,in the Grove/Diamond New Scheme. He was caused to skip the Providence Magistrate’s Court and answer to the charges in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court where he was placed on $200,000 bail with conditions one of which is to remove from his home in Diamond, approximately 1,000 yards from the virtual complainant. isn’t this witchcraft?
An Irish national was charged for threatening a sitting president, our president and was placed on $60,000 bail in the same court, if this is not witchcraft what is it?!
When that magistrate decided to use her discretion to keep my friend’s case out the jurisdiction of occurrence for trial we knew then only a guilty verdict was imminent irrespective of the other magistrate.
Mr. Best eluded prison detention when his bail was posted.
This case taught us and should teach others that it is not necessary to have witnesses in cases like this to have a conviction even if contradictory evidence was given by the virtual complainant and a proclamation of open hatred in court for the defendant.
Guilty as expected on both accounts, my friend paid a fine and was placed on a one-year bond to keep the peace. This is plan B to try and get him to prison since nothing is needed for a charge and a conviction.
Well the officer who made the charges said in court that he knew nothing about the case except to charge the defendant, without confrontation.
The real virtual complainants however seem not to be that young lady, she was chosen for common interest and her gender since the courts seem to be preying on Guyanese males.
I have spoken to approximately fifteen lawyers about what goes on in the courts and they said that is why legal fees are so expensive because when they stand in court it is not only an issue of law.
Mrs. Young
