Peter Champagnie
Attorney-at-law Peter Champagnie, who is also defence attorney for Mavado’s son, Dantay Brooks, and who represented Alkaline and Dexta Daps in the past, took a Jamaican cartoonist to task on Saturday morning, for an illustration which depicted defence attorneys rejoicing over the fact that no amendment would be made to Jamaica’s Criminal Justice Act.
Champagnie, a Queen’s Counsel, expressed his displeasure after the Jamaica Observer posted a cartoon on its Instagram page which showed an apparently money-grubbing defence attorney sprawled on a wad of cash on one side of the scale of justice whilst ripping a document in two, while on the other end of the scale were bodies of murder victims piled on top of each other.
