ST. JOHN’S, Antigua, CMC – Prime Minister Gaston Browne Wednesday mentioned that the judiciary is failing the Antigua and Barbuda society as police proceed to analyze the homicide of a 43-year-old man on Tuesday night time,
The police mentioned that two others are nursing gunshot wounds following the capturing incident that occurred round 11:00 pm (native time) on the East Bus Station.
In an announcement posted on his Fb web page, Prime Minister Browne mentioned that “this capturing was ostensibly performed by a legal component who is thought to the police for gun crimes,” including, “Curiously, he was just lately given bail.
“The judiciary is failing our society by giving these identified un-empathetic, damaging, legal parts bail and quick sentences, permitting them to turn into repeat offenders, thereby destabilizing our society with their routine legal acts of crime and violence,” Browne mentioned.
He mentioned whereas sentencing is the “unique area of the judiciary, as a member of the legislature, I firmly consider that our judiciary is failing us.
“Be empathetic to our folks and never criminals. Crime and violence should not pay, and those that have interaction in crime and violence should certainly pay.
We can not reign in criminals with slaps on the wrist; they should be severely punished, particularly repeat offenders who’re concerned in gun crimes. Shield our society; up the sentencing now and finish routine bail for these hardcore criminals,” Prime Minister Browne wrote.
