No judge in the Berbice Assizes since October
Dear Editor,
Pursuant to a published letter titled, “sister wants justice for brother, crippled by shotgun violence,” on page 4 of Wednesday December t6, 2015 edition, please be informed of the following. We have noted that some of the information is incorrect. There was a Preliminary Inquiry (Pl) in the Magistrates’ Court and at the end of the Pl the Magistrate committed the accused to stand trial in the High Court. State Counsel, Natasha Backer, set the case to do it in the Berbice Assizes, but no judge has been sitting in the Berbice Assizes since October 2015. A judge is expected to be assigned to sit from January 2016.
The victim, Mr. Bijai “Rohan” Ramdass, spoke with Ms. Backer via the telephone and she advised him, that the jury is to return to Court on January 5, 2016 when his case is likely to be heard.
