    I am confused. I thought it was only the MANDATORY death sentence that was adjudged to be unconstitutional.

    Yes, automatic mandatory death penalty was deemed unconstitutional.

    @ David

    Is there another death penalty other than mandatory?

    Death has been the mandatory sentence for the offence of murder, since the 17th century.

    It is not automatic any longer after the CCJ ruling. The judge can intervene with a discretionary decision.

    Yes, David…… as outlined in 2018 ammendment to the OAPA.

    Please assist Amit @http://www.barbadoscrimeblog.com/ with his poll.

    Hi David,

    As I expand my work on crime and homicides in Barbados, I have decided today to launch an informal anonymous poll, seeking to ask one important question:

    How safe do you feel living in Barbados today?

    Of-course there are limitations to basic polls such as these, nonetheless, I plan on running it every June and December, starting this month as a basic barometer on how people living in Barbados feel regarding their safety over time.

    I’d be grateful if you could share the link with the BU family. I am looking for respondents who have been in Barbados for the last 12 months or more.

    I will close it at the end of June.

    There was another shooting incident this morning, this time at 5th Avenue, Peterkin Road, Bank Hall, St. Michael.

    Details are still emerging, but law enforcement is actively investigating.

    In a separate operation this morning, lawmen carried out targeted exercises in Odessa Drive, My Lord’s Hill, part of a series of intensified police actions aimed at dismantling criminal networks and restoring calm to affected communities.

    The police is again appealing to the public to remain vigilant and cooperate with law enforcement as these operations continue.
