Dear Editor,
It is with great concern that I write about the recently concluded case involving Vybz Kartel et al in the Supreme Court of Judicature.
I followed the case very closely through the media, both audio and print, and I truly believe that the police officers who were a part of this case should be cited for dereliction of duties and some form of disciplinary action should be handed down to them.
As it is not the purview of the honourable judge to deal with the officers in that manner, there should be an internal court for the Jamaica Constabulary, as there is one for the Jamaica Defence Force, where these Officers would be tried by legal officers within the force. If found guilty, then they should face stiff penalties.
It ought not to be business as usual with the officers just going back to their duties when it is clear that they all fell down on their duties. A precedent must be set from which other officers may learn.
