For former General Manager of the Antigua and Barbuda Transport Board (ABTB), Harry Josiah, within the\u00a0 criminal justice system, when it rains, it pours.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

For him the cases against him have not been all over as yet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This news portal has been reliably informed that Acting Director of Public Prosecutions Joann Walsh has since filed an\u00a0appeal in the “No Case Submission.”<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

It is to be heard by the Itinerant ‘OECS’ Appeals Court next sitting in Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Indicted on some 12 counts of Corruption in March 2015, having waited for some 7 agonizing years for trial some 7 years, the case came up for trial on 4th March 2022, before a lone\u00a0judge, Justice Stanley John.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A contracted attorney, Andrew Okolo, represented and led the case for the prosecution, while Queen’s Counsel, Dane Hamilton Sr, represented the accused.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the close of the case for the prosecution, he succeeded with the “No case Submission,” that saw his client walk free.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The trial judge appeared not to have been satisfied with the quality of evidence adduced by the prosecution. It was reported that the prosecution had not made out a prima facie case against Josiah.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Consequently, the\u00a0Court upheld the submissions and dismissed the 12 counts against him.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Crown’s prosecutor had already placed the Court on notice, that the prosecution\u00a0will appeal the Court’s decision.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was confirmed that a “Notice of Appeal” was submitted to the High\u00a0Court of Justice on 21st March, 2022 and filed on 22nd March, 2022.’<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was also confirmed that the “Notice of Appeal” was served on the former General Manager on 29th March, 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
