    • I hope you had the same thought process in the rushed MP’s verdict, while there are some young men who’s lives are on hold waiting for their cases to be called.

  2. Lawd, more money this ridiculous ABLP is causing us for their use of the court to try to ‘narsy’ up people name.
    CALL THE ELECTION NOW!!!

  3. In the Courts of Law. He is not guilty. What the hell more do you want? We like to dragged persons good names through the mud, tarnished them,and then there is no case to answer. However, the Prime Minister did say a Customs Broker forged his signature.What has become of that matter? Police Force, where are you in this matter.Why no charges were brought and that person arrested.Damn double standards, based on your connections.

  4. YET WHILE THEY ARE WASTING TIME AND MONEY ON CASES LIKE THIS ,THERE IS A CUSTOMS BROKER WHO STOLE OVER THREE MILLION DOLLARS YET TO BE CHARGE. THE CUSTOMS BOSS SAID THEY HAVE ALL THE EVIDENCE ON HOW THE CRIME WAS COMMITTED AND YET NOTHING. DEM SAY WHEN YOU TIEF…DO IT WITH A MINISTER AND YOU WILL NEVER BE CHARGE

  5. Not Guilty! Not Guilty! Not Guilty!!
    Whop!Whop!
    ABLP Government are the biggest Losers on the Face of the
    ABey!! 👅 Labor Party.

    Mr. Josiah keep your head up, you are decent and honest man , those vagabonds did not win . 🍷 Cheers.

  6. The court found him innocent, so threre is nothing more to say. It’s in the history books now.

  7. Has to live with his conscience and as they do when death come knocking all repent of their sins to society.

  8. The ABLP on a roll with the constant losing of cases. The losers though are the people whose had earned tax dollars are being wasted by these corrupt and greedy politicians.

  9. The court found there was no case, not that he was innocent. In our system once you are not proved guilty, you have to be assumed innocent. The accused until a guilty verdict are deemed innocent. Wish Mr. Josiah and his family the best of luck

  10. Tenman: Did you listen to his Lawyer’s statement outside the Court. He did mention the name of a former Chairman of Transport Board. The person is now inside the Cabinet of Gaston Browne. He is the one whose hair gets darker as the years go by.My guess,too much Just for Men in the bottle. Just do not wear a white shirt and avoid the rain.

    • hmm, man may tell you that his hair dye is water prrof ( (Just for men). Anyway the story here is there was a forensic investigation carried out by one of A&B own (well respected)sons. This investigation was the basis for involving the police. Was it shoddy? The police dropped the ball? There has been more than enough time to deal with this. Was unfair to the accused that it took this long Whoever is responsible for this mess needs to be pulled over the proverbial coals

  11. Yet auction disappeared and all that happened was the comrade was ask to pay it back in tranches and step aside for my dear wife.
    Someone forgot the head of Government signature and got millions in custom duties waived, up to this day no one has been charged.
    A man was abducted and taken to Dominican, in the hope of taking him to India and up to this day, the police high command, is silent like a church mouse. All the happen, is that the top dawg got out of dodge and ran to his mother-in-law place to live.

  12. Mr Josiah I wish you and your family all the best you are a good man I wish you were still at Transport board the comoany would have bean better.

  13. The burden of proof is much higher in a court of law than in a court of public opinion. OJ Simpson case was one of those cases.

  14. Harry, you know you are guilty…….the DPP did such a bad job……but God is watching and your day will come. So don’t smile and boast for long…..your day is coming!
