There is no back log in the Court of Appeal...the back log is in the Supreme Court. No attack on you is necessary because you are expressing your opinion which you are entitled to. In this case, your view is that he has wasted the court's time but if convicted persons didn't appeal their cases, the Justices of Appeal would be redundant. The courts serve a purpose, which is why we have more than one level leading all the way to the Privy Council. Hence, if you are unhappy with a lower court, the Constitution gives you the right to take your unhappiness as high as the Privy Council at great financial cost, I might add, and regardless of what other's or the popular view may be. It's a right all of us have, regardless of the reason we were convicted.

How sad is it to die and be buried in an unmarked grave? A face with no name, no family to mourn. Rest in peace!

Isn't it ironic? This was one of the things they said was "stopped, reviewed and cancelled"! How can something that doesn't exist, actually and really exist?

Those words imply so much! I suppose part of the expectation is more government-friendly reporting, less criticism, and no challenging queries while we all pretend that those in power are God's gift to us, imbued with all wisdom, knowledge and understanding, full of pure intentions and incapable of making mistakes. I suggest that if the Government has any expectations of the media those expectations should be kept to themselves. In any event, I thought the Bahamas Information Service and ZNS (alas!) were their mouthpieces, both organizations being well trained in spinning stories to the (most times) unearned benefit of those in power. For a "democracy" those democratically elected in this country seemed to have missed a fundamental point about how democracies work. My last word to those in power is: " Put on your long-legged pants. The days of short pants over!"

Shock! Surprise! Horror! Anyone who didn't expect this is really tuned out about the modus operandi of the PLP.

To your last question: We want to go back because our jingoism cannot tolerate the thought that just maybe we are not as fantastic as we think we are.

How true...but talking heads must talk when they can't do. So expect at least five more committees to be formed to address the issue of crime.

Great story!

Somene is buying the so-called scrap metal...find the purchaser and trace back to the seller and you will find your thief.

Hmmmm....Interesting...read Paco Nunez's article in the Insight section about journalists and politicians...particularly this latest crop of politicians and their position concerning the press.
