What do you expect from a police force that has become very Haitianized throughout its ranks and is comprised in the main of very lowly paid police officers who received a D- education in our failed and dysfunctional public education system? The Jamaican QC, Keith Knight, can't believe how easy it was for him to get Frank Smith and now Shameless Shane Gibson acquitted of all charges. QC Knight will surely be telling all of his colleagues back in Jamaica just how dumb and stupid just about everyone is within our judicial system here in the Bahamas and within the hierarchy of our government. Millions of taxpayer dollars once again flushed down the toilet by Minnis and Bethel. What a joke!

And this is the problem here. Nothing will happen. You had an officer admit to doing something wrong and nothing. This goes on all the time in all departments of this country. When people are found to do something wrong they are not fired or charged before the court, rather they are just moved around or everyone pretends nothing happens. Until we get serious when people break the laws we will never be able to make this country better

Agree 100% with Davis. Getting witnesses together to synchronize stories??? I wonder what penalty that would have gotten in the US.

And let's not forget the witness tampering by Dr. Sands and Marvin Dames as cabinet ministers that resulted in Frank Smith walking away as a free man from his criminal charges. Just more millions of taxpayer dollars flushed down the toilet by Minnis and Bethel. What a flaming joke!

Yeah, no. Tis every common man's and woman's nightmare be forced to defend before the colony's courts when financially handicapped to import the learned services a most skilled Queen's Counsel QC to be prepared spend hundreds thousands dollars in order to mount a defense to rebuke the prosecution's unlimited funds evidence. Some us still don't believe that the popilaces at large, have yet learn all there is to learn about the prosecution's case surrounding the not tendered, nor even requesting prior cabinet approval relating to the awarding the maintenance contact over at Prince Margaret Hospital . Like how many learned QC's were there from both the prosecution's and defendant's sides?

I need a chiropractor I've been shaking my head so much lately. So embarrassed for our country.
Everyone in the country knows about the corruption and the bag men and the shingles but yet nobody can be found guilty. Crying shame!

@sickened, we are an embarrasment indeed! This is how corruption is perpetuated. I am saddened because as a nation we continue to accept corruption as a part of every day life. Nothing will change because many believe that you can be dishonest, hire the best attorney and he/she can get you out of your wrong doing. When will we do better?....after we have lost this great nation?

Now that the corrupt elite within the PLP know they are invincible, you just imagine what they will do if they ever get control of government again. They will have Hubert Minnis and his adult children all wishing they had never returned to the Bahamas to practice medicine. And Snake will be leading the charge as one who has repeated said, 'what goes around, comes around'. My oh my.

If only a verdict of not guilty meant the person **did not** commit the crime!

The crux of the problem in dispensing justice in our country today is that our jury pools are made up of way too many of the same kind of D- educated individuals who are all too willing to vote for a political candidate like Shameless Shane. Like Frank Smith before him, Shameless Shane was able to take great comfort in knowing he would be judged by a jury made up of a majority of 'his kind of D- educated voter'. And of course QC Knight knew exactly the type of juror to select among his picks for both the Frank Smith and Shameless Shane trials. The writing was on the wall as to the outcome of these trials from the very outset. But at the time the very arrogant, nasty, deceitful and vindictive Minnis needed something to help distract the people's attention away from the whopping 60% increase in VAT that he inflicted on them.

In the run up to the last general election I kept saying "THINK, THINK, THINK" before you vote for Minnis or any other FNM candidate, but too many of you were blinded by your hatred of Vomit Christie and the very corrupt PLP to see the true evil within Minnis.

... unfortunately its the dregs of society who offer themselves for higher political office, so until we have a cadre of persons who are nationalistic with common sense (higher education is not necessarily a requirement) and with moral values who create a NEW party, we will continue to see saw between two the evils (PLP & FNM) each election cycle!

Yeah, no. Guess only way truly learn what the jury really thought about evidence offered by prosecution, would be conduct poll each individual comrade member jury? I've just finished reading the colony's comrade attorney general Carl Wilshire' **stooping over** he self, whilst putting the government's **political spin** spin of, he guesses be left for the populaces at large will just have deal with the jury's verdict?

This whole saga has just been one long comedy show, better than the Shingles, I mean the Simpsons
