Anthony Armstrong, the former Director of Public Prosecution, has returned to Antigua and Barbuda while facing criminal charges for professional misconduct in Jamaica.
His lawyer, Hugh Wildman, stated that all charges are expected to be dropped.
Armstrong, despite being on bail, has had his passport returned and is free to travel and work.
The charges stem from a guilty verdict by Jamaica’s General Legal Council (GLC) for selling and transferring properties without client consent, as well as for signing as a witness while his client was imprisoned in the U.S.

A hope that criminal don’t come back to antigua to preside over political prosection instructions from Gaston brown and waller in poor tax payers money, me believe he go do the bus case as soon as Gaston say.
I am sorry. I would not be able to rehire you. Doing so, by any government, would show they are the most corrupt government in Antigua and Barbuda.
Every case he was part of should be reviewed and as you can see, none was reviewed, nothing was done.
@my way of helping…. I would agree that he should not be rehired to as DPP. However, what justification would you offer for all of the cases he was part of to be reviewed?
If, as his lawyer is saying, all charges against him will be dropped is that not a vindication for him? Anyone can be charged with a crime, but if the evidence does not support the charges then the person has to be set free. Are you then suggesting that anyone charged with a crime is somehow guilty until proven not guilty? Are you further suggesting that simply being charged means that every valuable thing a person has done in the past now becomes valueless?
By that rationale, a charge alone is sufficient to render persons useless to society. That would be pathetic, don’t you think?
@my way of helping, great observations! I hope he’s back to pack his things and move on.
Let’s not forget that the DAWG knew this man was corrupt BEFORE things broke,yet nothing was ever done. Are taxpayers still paying this man? Let’s see what happens. This government has a knack for sniffing out criminals.
Welcome to CROOK PARADISE
where is the UPP-appointed dpp going? what say you Mr. Pringle?
When he marry your daughter and impregnate her. There’s your answer. You bright.
@ Wash an’ Basin, you was found to be in violation of the professional code of conduct for attorneys (see published news). The particular violations are for violations of moral turpitude.
The strange thing is, I was up late last night researching and reading case laws/precedence pertaining to moral character for VAWA cases.
Anyway, the kind of violations (they do not have to be prosecuted criminally) he was found to be responsible for in the administrative/civil matter before the court/bar is sufficient for him to be disbarred but if not disbarred, still sufficient for him to lose such work at a high public office (If the news are correct of him being found responsible by the court/bar attorney disciplinary board).
Criminal charges do not even have to be filed in cases as these for the attorney to not be qualified for a prosecitorial, public trust, position.
Any such conduct of deception or fraud or any moral turpitude claim that was substantiate by any government system (court, bar, administrative, etcetera), would have the same effect for his career and automatic review of every case in which he investigated, participated and especially signed affidavits (sworn statements too). Settled law in US. I see this exact situation in court like all the time and cases are mainly dismissed against practically all parties the officer ticketed or charged etcetera. He can never sit on the stand again or sign affidavits. Referring to those US police officer. Worse if you are a prosecutor.
Antigua is the best place for him to start his law firm and get the crooks out of jail. Just like the former Police Commissioner did. The Police in Antigua and Barbuda never present a water tight case to the court and they know it.
Cutie and the ALP want him back in antigua or he is back to cash in his “I owe you” that they have for him.

@My way.. Rudolph Giuliani has been disbarred (July 2024) in NY so all cases he prosecuted need to be reopened? I ask because I read you arguing that once there is an ethical breach, everything the person has touched is trained and hence a start over. Brethren you need to properly research a matter, before making judgements
Watch Gaston Browne the creative self enrichment scammer rehire this piece of shit.
Everything he touched, both attorney mentioned, should be reviewed. Everything. So your point does not change my stance on the matter @Tenman.
I am not sure why you think mentioning Rudy changes my point. I think it actually strengthens my point.
You might want to do some research on my point. My point is also settled procedural relief in cases like these. Everyone of those cases must be reviewed in which a court relied on any certification of his after the alleged ethical violation. That is what the code of professional responsibility says and I agree.
