BARBADOS, WHERE JUSTICE DELAYED IS TRUE JUSTICE DENIED

Absolutely nothing has changed since Barbados broke away from the London Privy Council. Then Barbados Attorney General Davis Simmons and Attorney at Law, Mr Aliar Shepherd, publicly accused England of preventing Barbados from carrying out Capital Punishment (Hanging). The law specifies that a prisoner shall not be kept for more than five years before Capital Punishment is administered. Blinding the Barbados public, they would, for instance, keep a murderer in prison for many years before his case comes before the courts, or deliberately put back cases, and even once that person has been sentenced to death, they would playfully appeal to the London Privy Council to have the Death Penalty overturned at the expense of unsuspecting relatives, unaware of the Five Year Statute. Naturally, the Privy Council had to comply with the rule of the 1966 Independence Constitution, and the Death Sentence is annulled for exceeding five years' imprisonment.

 Then, in Barbados, they set their plan in motion through social media, ramping up about England preventing an independent nation from carrying out the death penalty, and having the general public shouting out, Barbados do not need a Queen 5000 miles away telling us how to run our Island.

David Simmons was heaped with praises for removing Barbados from the England Privy Council and for establishing the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), situated in Trinidad. How many prisoners have been hanged or sentenced to be hanged?
