Former St George MP Dean Jonas to Stand Trial for Alleged Criminal Offenses Including Assault and Battery

1. So…Gaston Browne admitted that he illegally transferred voters from one constituency to another last election. Is he above the law? Enquiring minds would like to know.

2. This could be AVOIDED. Why on earth Dean Jonas fell in this trap ? Praying that all will be well.

3. There are several things happening here that HIGHLIGHT the corruption within the judiciary and the RPFAB in Antigua and Barbuda.

   1. The trial should not proceed because it was initiated without written authorization from the Director of Public Prosecutions, as mandated by the Criminal Prosecutions Service Act of 2017.

   2. The officer showed up to his property and made demands with regards to custody without any proof thereof. The officer was also asked to leave the private property several times and did not comply, neither did he seek to verify the bearer of custody.

   3. There is clear entrapment at play. Entrapment refers to a situation where law enforcement use coercion, manipulation, deception, or inducements to persuade an individual to commit a crime that they would not have otherwise commited.

   Facts:
   1. Any article of law is to be be respected by both the judiciary and police, whose job it is to enforce. To go contrary to any written rule of law is therefore illegal, and cannot be set aside. An ammendment to legislation is needed.

   2. Any arguments by the accused asking trespassers (police and child’s mother) to leave his property is justified. They were unlawfully on his property and they were asked several times to remove themselves.

   3. It was textbook entrapment. Since this is proceeding to trial, I encourage everyone with similar cases to request disclosure and publish the articles of submission and expose the culprits. I’m 100% certain that a clear pattern will emerge and certain names will keep coming up.

   We need need judicial and law enforcement reform.

   • Your erudite and knowledgeable input is very much appreciated @ Ebenezer Scrooge 👍🏾

   • As much as U say all this, U must realise we live in a failed, corrupt, unregulated ANARCHY under the current administration. NOTHING will ever be done legally until they are removed and put out to pasture.

4. Really don’t think that this case would go anywhere.i expect it to be dismissed eventually.

   • Who is going dismiss it?
     The same judge that says it must proceed to trial.
     And remember they just passed a Judge only trial.
     If you think you live in a democracy you are solely mistaken.

     • From since when a jury is needed for a trail in the Magistrate court? There is a difference between Magistrate court and High Court a little research would have told u that🙄. I swear some of yall on here makes politics turn all into some braying arses🙄

5. Truly, there should be no charges here. But I will assume they think it looks better for the officer to proceed in an attempt to cover his wrongful conduct.

   Immediately when I saw the video, I promptly informed the attorney General, police commissioner and deputy what I saw on the video, the former minister cannot and should not be charged.

   I am not saying he is a saint, he is not, but truly a prudent and reasonable attorney could not think it is in the best interest of the public and justice to proceed with any charges.

   I have interacted with prosecution and police, and sadly, I can’t honestly say I believe appropriate people with appropriate professionalism and judgment exist.

   When you go to Antigua, be very careful, decisions are not reached on a reasonable basis but with intent to hurt or to get money. Either or or both.

6. Yep this a long drawn out dead matter which is continued only due to pride. Sad when persons can’t smell their own stench

   • You tenman would surely know when people can’t smell their own stench because you’re standing and swimming the center of the stench pool filled with gaston and the rest of ABLP . Yet you keep bathing in Florida water and appearing in public like this can wash the poop smell off you,
