The recently formed coalition, A Partnership for National Unity and Alliance for Change has stronglyConvicted: Samuel Hinds Jnrcondemned the recommendation of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) that the son of Prime Minister, Samuel Hinds be retried on a domestic violence charge, even though he has already been found guilty.In fact, the party claims that it would be an understatement to say that this new development flies in the face of justice and smacks of governmental interference.The Coalition said that it recently learnt of the DPP’s recommendation that newly appointed Magistrate Annette Singh conducts a new trial for the PM’s son, who has already been tried and found guilty on a wounding charge.The advice was returned from the DPP Chambers on Wednesday as the matter was once again called in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.Hinds, 34, had already been found guilty by former Magistrate Geeta Chandan-Edmond in relation to a wounding charge, but the case was stalled since the Magistrate received marching orders from the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) the very day she was set to sentence him.On the directive of the DPP, Police Prosecutor Corporal Renatta Bentham said that according to law, a final adjudication means a verdict plus a sentence. The DPP held that since the former Magistrate had only returned a verdict and did not announce a sentence,Wholesale Jerseys Online, it was not a final adjudication.The court had heard that the new presiding Magistrate may not sentence the defendant based on a trial conducted by another Magistrate.
