A senior attorney-at-law says politics is behind some recently proposed legislation which in his view, is aimed at jailing more accused in an environment in which crime is on the rise.

Pilgrim, made the comments as a panelist on today’s webinar hosted by the Barbados Bar Association on the
Criminal Justice Bill and Judge-only Trials.
