LooK at What? evertime there is a problem the PM must get involved? now must the PM take on the role of Commisioner of Police ? and entire police department ? before it washis role to be MInister of EDUCAtion when teachers strike .thenMinister of labour when the Lime employees strike. What next. Look PM don”t read BU. . ,,Further more don’t need the advice. it always PM must do this orPm must do that> stupsee.Those woman got a barrage of lawyers and media working on their behalf . Now the PM must get involved I say ABSOLUTELY NOT!

What national issue.? such issues are under the jurisdiction of the BPF . that is their job. Everycountry have experienced similar incidents and their leaders go about doing the the job they were elected to do.not jumping around from ministry to minisrty like headless chicken with 2×4 in hand threating people. PM stuart have a blessed Easter…….

There is also the matter of the the young girl Viciously tortured and Murdered in St John.
That has been swept under the carpet after a Saga of the most blatent criminal manipulation of the evidence,by the DPP of Barbados Charles Leacock.
Wherein ,after one of the most horrific killings in Barbados Legal History, DPP Charles Leacocks evidence to the Courts of Barbados ,made both Murders not only; NOT GUILTY of Murder; but actually both having been (if we look at DPP Charles Leacocks evidence) the “Innocent” party.
The Guyanese leader and perpertrator of the crime being made “Innocent of Murder ” by DPP Charles Leacock s” diametrically changed evidence ,at the first trial and the last trial.
Now I understand that the Guyanese Murderer, is “Appealling” as he feels his treatment was “unjust” (Leacock asked for 25 years but ACCEPTED 15 after allowances etc) (Very reassuring for any Tourist to see)
Who can beleive that DPP LEACOCK acts solely on his own.
Where is the AG?The Cheif Justice? The Comissioner of Police?
THE PRIME MINISTER?
Was this crime NOT HORRIFIC enough to have been worthy of his , the PM’s attention?
OR WAS IT worthy of his attention?
That being the reason the matter was “reasolved” in the blatent “Upsiderdowner” fashion of total criminal misrepresentation of evidence to the Courts by DPP CHARLES LEACOCK.

I understand that the Law offices of the present PM were involved ,in a case against the father of the Murdered child, by a Foreign woman,who was allowed into Barbados and stayed for ONE year ,WITHOUT PAPERS and was GIVEN FREE LEGAL AID to put the father in Court over a matter that was “not of this jurustiction” and long out of date had it been..
(A Foreigner gets off a plane and ILLEGALLY stays in Barbados for a YEAR while recieving FREE LEGAL AID and recieves daily many phone calls at her Accomodation from the law office of PM STUART) and Strange enough the “Bosom Buddy ” of the PM ; Hal Gollop ,has the work routed thro his office. (Note here that Gollop was at the time representing the father in this matter and never informed the father that the lawyer representing the woman was from Gollops’ own chambers)
Also WHY was the law office of the PM needing to “Call” this attractive ,white ,young female,when that case had been placed thro Gollops Chambers?
Then when the case is over and the Woman “loses” the father of the murdered child, is not allowed to collect his 12,000B$ costs.
His lawyer refuses to collect and the father is “Advised” he does “NOT KNOW who he is up against” and to “go to another lawyer if he wishes to collect as the current lawyer “Is not getting involved”

Do we see a “Vendetta” here, another incident of those “that Can” abusing the Law of Barbados.
Sounds very much like a Case the British MP dealing with the case of the “Arrest of a Rapist” in Barbados, is very likely to find, extremely usefull.

Anybody want to book on the SS,Titanic /Barbados for a nice cheap One way trip.
Any investors in Barbados ,encouraged?
Any family with young girl children,STILL considering a nice “Uneventful” trip to “Paroe,dise”
The SILENCE is DEAFENING!!!!

This is a foolish foolish post by Mr. Peter Rabbit
Sorry epic fail

The CoP in one of his press conferences on this matter ‘threatened’ to open the case file on the matter to support his claim the Force has run a good investigation. Open the damn file, we are dying here.

Surely it is asinine to spend millions in marketing tourism in the UK and have this Crawford matter being carried in the same press eroding all the gains?

@ ac | March 30, 2013 at 11:46 PM |

Ac, let us play a little game of time travel as is your wont to go back in your 14 year OSA space mobile and assume we are stuck in a time wobble on March 30, 2005.
Let us assume also the same events raised in this thread are being played out with OSA as PM.
Now Ac, what would be your views. Would you still say that this matter is of NO National Importance and that PM OSA is doing the right thing by leaving it under the sole jurisdiction of the Police & DPP? Why did this PM not leave the Alexandra issue under the sole jurisdiction of the MoE as per the King report?

You are strongly advised to ask your husband to read what Amused wrote above @ “Amused | March 31, 2013 at 4:04 AM | “ and to explain the serious ramifications of what is happening to the image and reputation of Barbados in one of our main source market from which we earn foreign exchange the lifeblood of this economy.
Amused knows what he talking about. The British Media would destroy the image of this country as a tourist destination and a place to buy properties and invest unless this country seeks immediately to change the perception being spread as far as the halls of Whitehall and Westminster. If we fail to rectify the deteriorating situation this scandal would end up at the door of Number 10 Downing St as a petition to the PM to really do something about that banana republic called Barbados.

This reinforces the need for the attorney general to take decisive action over the reorganisation of the criminal justice system.
In case he nbeeds reminding, the police commissioner is sresponsible for operational matters, while he is in chare of strategy and policy. I suggest the ball is now in his court.
As I have said in my Notes before, we need to separate uniformed police from the investigative branch, removing the right of arrest from the detectives.
Set up a number of mobile stations under the operational direction of an inspector, which can be moved in to troubled areas with a day’s notice, and the team will be tasked with knowing every househokd, every animal, every bird on their patch; who the troublemakers are, the ddrug dealers, the people living beyong their means.
In the meantime, immigration and customs officers will be given the right of arrest, with drug dealing being the remit of customs.
Fraud and other economic crimes will come under the direction of Inland revenue, with the support of more export staff, including forensic auditors.
The professional Defence Force will be disbanded with the current team divided between the police and Coastguard, maintaining only a skeletal staff to deal with the volunteer regiment.
Senior officer who now deal with prosecutions in the magistrates courts – so-called police courts – will be put back on the beat, with the director of public prosecution’s office taking responsible for all prosecutions.
The one thing Barbados is not short of is lawyers.
Although police prosecutors have produced some outstanding lawyers in the past – Garry Sergeant comes to mind – those were in the days when there was a shortage of lawyers.
Once we have reorganised the criminal justice system, then we can talk about competence and efficiency.

Amused ! i couldn’t give two shit..s about wether ANYBODY agree or disagree with any of my comments. Really not interested in joining a bandwagon of “know it alls” here on BU predominately males.
As a female i stand ALONE and enjoys that status tremendously as a matter of fact I wear it with a badge of honour as my my ego is firmly intact and secure so much so that when the arrows of the pseudo =intellectuals come flying by i simply ignore. Unfortunately similar cannot be said of people of your ilk and Bush Tea who reveals in egotistical fanfare and pomposity seeking the approval of others.

I think that the people of this country should stop and think and see that some action is done abpot this whole state of affairs. Where are the media houses are the suffering to from the nine day disease. Where are the investigative journalist.
This is no longer a police issue is the COP also responsible for Tourism, where are the human right watch dogs or are they only interested in The stopping properly convicted murders from getting hang. What about the possible economic fall off if tourism is affected.
Does the people understand that the British market is our main source destination now. What image is being painted that Bardados has being feature negatively since late last year in that market.The Crawford issue, the shooting of the cruise ship visitors and the stabbing of the professors in St Peter. How can someone intelligently conclude that this is a policew issue. How can the officals be so silent.
This issue has gone way pass the RBFP. It should be actively engaging the attention of the Cabinet, it certainly touches on Min of Tourism, Min of AG, Min of Foreign Affairs, and to a lesser extent Min of Internation Development because if the justice system is allowed to remain looking like a circus how can we expect to arttract foreign investement. Let put it down to a basic level which one of us with $150.000 to invest in a home will make our first option Nelson Street, theRred Sea or the Marl hole certainly more peace and secure communities will be our option.Why should then we expect stranger to want to invest wher they cannot feel secure.
This whole issue has the potential to touch on the standard of live that we has become acustome to, the info is availible check how the Rodney King affair affected the tourism in L A a few years ago can we afford a 4% drop in arrivals i think not well LA had something like a 44% drop. What else do we have to offer other than safe peace and tranquillity to our visitors. All others sorts of attractions are imported from the very markets we target.
Mr PM, AG, and cabinet plz nip it in the bud stop the personal attackks and be wise it is not a laughing matter.

On the article, maybe it IS time the case file be opened. But likely the Police would need written agreement from the parties concerned, to do so.

My first question, was there forensic evidence and what did it indicate. Forensic evidence is usually self explanatory unless contested.

That said, as for the further matters written above, as comments, I sincerely hope those statements of events are not true, re both the little girl case and the former employer case, cannot be, it boggles the mind.

If twere true, our land has surely gone mad.

No wonder the PM here don’t live to a ripe old age .Each dept of govt is assigned a Minister and when inefficiency and any problems arise those are the people to whom the issues should be address.
The BTA ! The BFP ! the AG ! the DPP ! maybe we should abandon all these ministries and depts and have a country run by a dictator who can implement t any and all policies at a whim.
Yes there is a crime problem of growing concern that should be address but asking the PM to address the role is not going to contain the situation. the possibility of more funding may be of assistance in helping the Police Force do a better job at apprehending and keeping crime at a minimal.

AC why does everything in this country have to become a gender issue. Why do we have to stoop to the level of behavior that you are exhibiting. If womwn are really comfortable about themselves and are reallly shining as they are suppose to be why is it still necessary to continue to shout Iam a woman can we not have a trational debate without gender being an issue
Is not the physical appearence enough for us to know the difference between men and women. A good rational debate need not be fan in the face of genderism

What about the DNA ,it was his DNA that was found ;by the way to most WHITE people we all look the same and he may had put on some weight and got some grays in between but from how Derrick Crawford was in them women faces he is guilty just doing what some rapist do playing with them that the don’t even recognise him.He playing with them woman and enjoying it.

Butt looka my big able crosses…….Big Easter Sunday and waana want to give Stuartie a heart attack…..cheeseon breds…man musse sweating bullets.

@ ac…..cuddear LOL..tekk um like a man dear,,,its ur turn !

@ ac | March 31, 2013 at 7:57 AM |

So you can’t intellectually defend your position and as a result resort to the GENDER card.
Every male BU blogger is against ac because she is a “woman”!

No ac, we are against what you are arguing. Your position is totally untenable and your persistence in defending it- not out of principle but pure political ass licking- is beyond human understanding or even simple commonsense.
We are against your idiotic ranting not you as a woman; like how Christians claim they hate the sin but love the sinner. Ask Bushie or Caswell for confirmation!

@ AC
It is people like you that made our fore fathers conclude that women cannot reason. You want support for women well this coming from a woman like you do us a favour and shut your mouth ya full breed jenny ass

Of late we have heard the AG and his throw your hands in despair statements. We need a short term strategy, we need a medium term strategy and we need a long term strategy. Politicians seem to believe strategies are only required to deal with fiscal/monetary matters. Importantly, we need to ensure whatever strategies are eventually stumbled upon that the people are on board.

Lemuel | March 31, 2013 at 12:53 AM |
What do you expect the PM to do. He wasn’t very good with the Alexandra affair;

Absolutely disagree with you in fact the PM wise moves in the AX affair is one of the understated reasons he rose so rapidly in the leadership stakes. It caught his nemisis the CADRES liar Wickham by surprise.

I’m with the Commish on these rape cases.Although my heart goes out to all women who are victims of rape all roads from the evidence leads to the accused who is now a free man.

The English women’s hate for and anger at the Commish and RBPF has overtaken their sanity and natural desire to put their rapist behind bars. The criminal psychologists will tell you this occurs sometimes. Now thier rage aided and abetted by some local traitors is aimed at bringing down Barbados. They’re not only hunting the Commish and RBPF with the assistance of the British MP’s theyve manipulated methinks their objective is to see the collapse of our country.

HAPPY EASTER YUH ALLL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>running Late. Talk to wunna later. any nhow to make a long story short . i stand by my comments.

@Hal

Ignore Reality Check, one of those DLP supporters who believe that a moniker change does the trick.

Boy, this is serious. Is there a psychiatrist in the house?

@ David
i hear u always talking about ppl changing their names/handles on this blog, but for goodness sake do u think that every household has a computer in every room, you dont think that more than one person can use the same computer, and contribute to the same blog? smh wunna old ppl boy

Wickedness must be stopped in the country and the COP must be stoped. I know a young constable who has servrd this country for ten years applied to go overseas to finish his legal studies and permission was refused. He submitted his resignation and proceeded to go the goodlygentleman the COP ha refused to forward it saying that he is not acepting it that he is waiting to dismiss him on his return. has we now gotten to the stage of force Force labour. this young man is seeking to progress at his own expense. Is this how we are to encourage our young to progress. No wonder the weak thing it better to turn to crime than fight againt the wicked dealings in high office.
Take attorney -at law Mr Bennet, he studied law when he was an Inspector of Police alond with another Inspector. on their return that other inspector now a S/Superintendant was put to act three ranks up which was unprecedented inn this country wit and increase pay of almost $3000 but Mr Bennet was transfered tpo a department resulting in him loosing an allowances with amounted to a reduction in income. tell me who in their right mind would not have done what he did to seek greener pastures. do you inprove yourself for less.
Would ypoubelieve that after Mr Bennett left the COP would not even acknomledge his application for a licence firearm Mr Bennett as a police was involved in serious drug intradiction matters the Raul Graciea affair to mention one. He carried a firearm for over 15yrs both on and off duty as drug officers do and then to be treated so by your own. Tell me is this motivation for others to give quality service after putting yourself and family at risk for so many years to be treated this way.
Can you imagine how it would feel to know that you stopped millions of dollars in drugs from in the Columbia, Jamacia,and Vincentian drug trade and because you made a decision to improve yourself the very country and ouganisation you serve slap you in the face and say to hell with you we don’t want to hear you. You could be a target for death we do not care.
Sorry this is not personal but Wicked Darwin and Seymore must be stopped.

Reality check
The ONLY people in Bim who believed the PM handled the Jeff Broomes affair properly and with great statesman ship are you and those like you who sing for your supper at the feet of the said same PM. The DLP final straw was to buy the elections and they did just barely.

@Lemuel

i think it is time to move on and let us discuss passinately the ills facing this society. Stop the foolishness of vote buying.
