Dear Editor,
As we come to terms with the verdict of the recent ‘X6 murder trial’ some things leave a bad taste in my mouth.
Understanding that in the court system it’s evidence brought to court that really matters, with the conclusion of this case there are a few questions left unanswered.
Where is the gun?
What is the basis on which Khajeel Mais’ hands were swabbed for residue of gun powder?
To me it seems like one big web.
It will take a constitutional change to bring integrity and trustworthiness to the judicial system. I hope the minister of justice and the director of public prosecutions can use this to ignite a national agenda in which constitutional change can be made before any further disaster happens to anybody’s child.
I really look forward to a day when we can safely say that our judicial system which enforces the country’s laws starts to serve and protect. It is now time for our Government to put the interest of the people on the front burner.
While emotional reactions are outpouring on social media, may this be another eye-opener.
God bless Jamaica.
