nice ambulance for photos but when they put you in it, where are they going to take you and what care will you get there? is there a hospital with trauma center at Mayaguana?

The issue here is there was sufficient evidence to charge Pinder. in our system of government, that is enough to expect he would step aside so he is not a distraction. a cloud of suspicion will follow him the rest of his life even if absolved of any wrongdoing because you can always win a case on technicalities.
