Until there is a fool proof system to law and order system this will keep happening.The criminals will either bribe the offers or some good defence lawyer will save them due to the absence of enough and valid proof.

Its really sad to be driving around in my audi and seeing all those young boys cooling on the block smoking the weed. And looking to rob people of they goods. Why is its the government can not open a youth camp where young teenagers. Can do voluntary work like planting tree’s. Helping out the elderly folks in the community.

I think criminals Will keep getting away as long as we keep hiding one another. Went parents fail to take an interest in they children true needs and wants. Went kids know the truth about wacki backi and tacki smacki the dangers these drugs pose on them self and the community as a whole. One thing is good the police go around to different school to talk to students about all this things. Must commend them on such a good job,as you all know there still more we can do as a whole community.

Ok…So there are qualified individuals in St Lucia to man the Lab, but are they currently being employed at the lab?

This article was taken right out of “Investigative Policing 101”; these are critical elements that the Justice Ministry should have had in place shortly after the Forensic Lab was graciously opened. I’m of the view that the 400-plus unsolved murder victims were not that important to the Govt, for if it was a gov’t minister or his immediate family who was killed, the wheels of justice would turn at break-neck speed. THERE ARE qualified individuals in St. Lucia to man the Lab, but the DPP office filled with corruption and petty politics is hindering their progress. Rick published a piece on this last year. Let’s hope that the Justice Minister reads this “revealing and educational…

Stupidity is the reward of St. Lucians, in other words it pays to be a dummy on this island. The court system is vehicle for making lawyers and others involved in the legal system a good living. It has nothing to do with fixing the society or decreasing crime, we are all criminals of one kind or another, we just go to church every Sunday, pray before sleeping and when waking up, this makes everything good. So if you have just robbed your client, don’t be so worried, praying will cancels your guilt. It works for all other crimes, just pray afterwards.

Good points but what good is a well equipped forensic science lab, as we are led to believe, without highly skilled and experienced forensic scientists to process evidence? Staff need to have the necessary qualifications to produce thorough validated evidence that will stand up in Court. Collection and preservation of evidence is also a challenge, according to the Minister’s recent statement.
This whole business of the labs is very distressing to families affected by violent crimes. People deserve better and the Government need to address these issues.

Everybody is crying out for peace, nobody is crying out for justice.
