Defense Lawyer Makes Case for Vindicated Cops

PUBLIC debate is rife with concerns over the timing of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) disclosure on the IMPACS issue that appeared to exonerate police officers allegedly involved in at least five of the purported ‘extrajudicial killings’.
The argument is that the announcement is seen as an ‘election ploy’ by the government to sway voters in its favour on the eve of the July, 26 polls.
And now the defense lawyer for the 15 accused officers is having a say in the matter.
Attorney –at-law Lorne Theophilus is calling for redress in the matter involving the officers that were implicated in the Operation Restore Confidence strategy that occurred about 10 years ago.
To Charge or Not to Charge?

That seems to be the question facing police and the virtual complainant, in a matter that occurred on 24 April at the Forestierre Seventh Day Adventist Church between political hopeful Joachim Henry of the Saint Lucia Labour Party and Guy Joseph of the ruling United Workers Party.
Currently contesting the Castries South East constituency in the upcoming general elections, both men met face to face at the Church where Henry confronted Joseph.
Joachim Henry and Guy Joseph
Henry and his wife Claudia, this past Wednesday, were expected to be formally charged for allegedly disturbing the service that was in progress when they entered the Church, however, this did not happen as they did not make an appearance at the Major Crimes Unit as expected.
