Do
you have confidence in the judicial system in T&T? Why,
or why not?
kfana:
I do not trust a system where people that have been convicted
get to go free after a number of years. It’s
ridiculous and a disgrace.
JOKERISW:
No, not under the PNM character.
BAPTIMICHE:
NO. It is very clear that the system has no substance anymore.
When the DPP and the AG, and now the Chief Magistrate can
make such serious allegations against the CJ even though
not proven, the very fact that they thought it proper to
do is is very worrying indeed.
phillipse:
I have no confidence in the judicial system because they
take too long to decide a case and when they do, in most
cases justice is not served—the person either
gets off, or gets a very light sentence, while the victim
suffers for the rest of his/her life. There is never any
victim impact statement. The criminals have more rights
than the victims.
felamco:
From what I have reading, no. Too much political interference.
monica.debtfree:
Although I love T&T and always thought of it as Caribbean
paradise, I must say with much regret that in last five
years (in particular) T&T is no longer a place one can
call home with dignity, pride and confidence.
It hurts very much to say that when I love my T&T so
much, however, unfortunately in the current situation it
is clear that the Government has taken over the judicial
system, and one can see from other countries when the government
inferferes with the judicial process there is nothing but
chaos, fraud, crime, and dictatorship. There is
no judicial system, as I see it.
Victor Abdul-Mateen:
Yes, I have confidence in the judicial system of T&T.
As a country we are maturing. Countries that we look
at as developed went through worse periods of turmoil than
we are presently experiencing. I am confident
that the end result of all this would be a
much more mature and stable government.
When we look at the human being in its infancywe see what is referred
to as growing pains, when the new life encounters
pain as it passes into various stages of growth. A baby
getting teeth experiences pain; what we are experiencing
in T&T is a country getting political and
judicial teeth, which comes with pain.
ksiewdi:
No.
jaglal:
No.
