The hearing in the election petition matter involving Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerritt and Education Minister Petter St Jean has been adjourned until September 29 due to the unavailability of a key witness.
On resumption of court this morning, Senior Counsel Anthony Astaphan informed of the intent to close the matter of the first respondents, meaning that the statements of the last witness was accepted into evidence as it stands without cross-examination.
Attorney for the petitioners, Douglas Mendes requested an adjournment due the to unavailability of Felix Prosper, one of the key witnesses who was expected to give testimony tomorrow. That expectation, according to Mendes, was predicated upon Prosper flying into Dominica by Friday morning, but he revealed that further communication with Prosper’s employer showed that he would only arrive next week and that he will remain in Dominica for two weeks thereafter.
Mendes requested that Prosper’s witness statement be entered into evidence on September 29 and that written submissions be filed by 28 September. Astaphan had no objection to the requests, but did express concern that since the trial had already taken such a long time and at the prospect of moving it back further stating, “There comes a time when the evidenciary part of the trial must end, so we can move on to submission.”
Though she took Astaphan’s concerns into consideration, Justice Gertel Thom decided to adjourn the matter until 29 September, insisting that written submissions be filed by September 28 before oral submissions on October 3.

@ Claudius…
What constitutes not being backward? You trying to give the impression that to have SUV, subways, TV and internet that we not backward?
I have done business overseas and done business in Dominica, lived overseas and lived Dominica. So i know what i am saying when i say the country backward. You cant deny that Dominica lagging behind in terms of education, healthcare, infrastructure, entertainment, quality jobs, sports, and even agriculture.
Have you ever been to Pakistan or Bangladesh?Besides we don’t want to be compared to the least but rather to the best, that’s what a progressive mindset is about.
Just because someone has to come last in a classroom, would you accept your child being last? I think not, so why want that for your country you so love.
p.s- still laughing at you insinuating that i hate my homeland..
This dual citizen fiasco has made the Dominica Constitution and it’s framers look silly.I maybe wrong but the question is .Why is it that a born and bred Dominican who acquires another country’s nationality can freely vote in any election held in Dominica and in the country where he resides but cannot run for office,in other words he can elect but cannot be elected,something is wrong with that document and should be rectified before it,s too late
Go educate yourself ignorance to the highest level.
Dominica is not backward, it was never backward. In fact Dominica was ahead of the Caribbean region. We have our difficulties but we are not backward, the only backwardness i see is this nonsense of UWP. They set the precedence, with Ron Green, so I don’t understand why they are making a case now against Skerrit and ST. Jean. If they had not done it, Skerrit would never think he could do it also. The case should be dismissed, but Skerrit should step down as leader of the DLP because he has served three terms in office, and it will be good for the country and democracy.
ATTN SO CALLED CARIBBEAN GENIUS.
Let this sink into your pea brain. I have travelled. I been away from Dominica for 48 years. My standards are not set low. The Dominica I visited on numerous occassions, is not the Dominica we have now. We are not backwards, we have developed and are still developing. People like you only see negatives, they take pride and joy in bringing down others and their country.
As for my children, dont even go there. University graduates, born in the UK working abroad and running their own businesses. All were (including me) educated in the UK.
If it makes you feel big do ahead and knock yourself out trying to belittle me and others.
Dummkopf (German for idiot).
Pea brain???
Well next time keep off my comments. You should still make a point of duty to ask your kids what they thought about dom being developed. But i guess your shallow brain could not comprehend what i was trying to say.
By the way if you think that dominica is developed, your standards are set low. It is developing but it is still backward. And when you starting at the back you have to work harder and twice as fast and use bolder initiatives as those ahead. If you feel belittled then you know the reason why..
P.s… Keep off other peoples comments,or take what you get. Wont be addressing anymore of your comments…
I feel you @ Fed Up Dominican. I feel the same way about the so call intellectual elites.Like you I must say that Dominica is developing. I have been living out of Dominica for over twenty years. Every time I go home I identify a progressive change whether small or big, infrastructural or other wise.The government is not perfect but I do have to commend our fellow Dominicans at home and this present administration for their efforts. Lots of Dominicans in the diaspora need to be commended for their contribution as well.
I support constructive criticism because it is necessary for growth however I have to say that I bleed for my country when i read some comments and commentary on this site as well as other sites( news sites pop ever so often).from the some disgruntled so call intellectual elites who claim love for country. Their insults and disrespect for the ” not so intellectual” Dominicans bothers me. I always ask these question, what are their motives? I pray that opposition and government would deem it necessary to work together for the further development of our beautiful country and wonderful people!
What constitutes backwardness? maybe underdevelopment but cerainly not backward,currently,we have Cable TV with Channels which are the envy of even some Americans,Cell Phones,SUV,s in every make and model,Internet at different Speeds,KFC,Subway,and a host of other amenities,which proves that we are certainly not backward,a very literate and educated populace. How does that compare to places like Pakistan,Stone Mountain Georgia,Bangladesh,etc.So to all you haters and naye sayers stop spewing your hatred for your homeland just because of your hidden agenda.As PJ dot com says,”we are just padded up and awaiting our turn.”
felix (moses) prosper outa laplaine they waiting for? hehehehe…UWP not easy…moses claiming he saw peter passport lol lol lol…of all people in laplaine is moses peter going to show passport if he has one?lol lol…gason gason gason hehehehehe..
To all the people with very limited mental capacity who cannot speak to any issue except to attack me personally and say all kinds of things real, imagined, or wishful thinking about me.. There is nothing you people can say about me that will stop me from expressing my opinion whether all you like it or not, so give it a break!!
Now get that and process it well… Even if I was homeless, jobless, penniless I would still be speaking my mind, I would go to a library to speak my mind.. There is nothing that can stop that except if I am medically/physically incapable of doing so, or I am dead!! Put that in your little heads.
Now I have a suggestion for you limited people. Go read a book, go to some night classes or something, when you do, you will realize that you can make a contribution without attacking anybody personally. I recommend that you start with The Cat in The Hat” By Dr. Suess..You will be better for it. Stop making me be ashamed to be one of you!!
@ What, see you are at the top of your game, the discussion here is not about me, speak to the issue if you can.. Can you I doubt it very much. This is what people with no mental capacity at all do, when there is a issue pick a person who has a position they do not like and get personal with that person.. What I suggest while I go get a job, you go to school and expand your horizons, they look very narrow, they can surround an ant! Go to school, learn something, read a book f something. What?
Your smartness making me laugh
It was not supposed to be a joke, but if you find it amusing, that fine to. These people give me indigestion, they can never, ever comment on the issues at hand because they do not have the mental capacity. Their forte is to pick on someone who expresses views opposed to their cult worship of Skerrit and give you mapuis.. When are these people going to get out of this mentality when? But they are upset when people do not “VISIT” them.. Very funny!!!
The witness is a crew member on a ship.
Due to bad weather it was delayed out at sea and was too late in docking in the US port for him to catch his flight to Dominica.
Why not change the constitution, once you born in Dominica you can contest any election, and let’s live happily ever after. All this is a waste of time and money. Only the lawyers are really benefiting from this mele.
Dominica for Dominicans
if thats the case then sooner or later we will hve haitians, Dominican Republic, Nigerian and Chinese,etc as leaders – PM, President, Ministers, just like Canada…r we ready for that…wt the way our ppl think…I DONT THINK SO! We stil nto accepting of our Kalinago brothers and sisters in 2011!
I never knew Felix Prosper was so powerful boy. You mean the man is so important that he is referred to as a key witness? How is he a key witnees? Did he or does he have a copy of Mr. Skeritt’s passport. The accused PM is not allowed by the court to testify, yet Felix we are hearing is a key witness. Bon Dier HO!
Another thing I don’t understand is, how is that Tony Astaphan had no difficulties in delaying the case until Felix comes. I mean Tony is even pushing the court to excelarate the case. Aben me debah!
With Felix Prosper being from Vielle case like Mr. Skeritt, I would be surprised if the man did not pay Felix to short up just as he had a secret settlement with Matt Peltier. According to Matthew Walter, let’s keep our fingers crossed.
I am listening.
We understand your name, Felix is from La Plaine….lol
uwp and their nonsense again
WIKILEAKS, thanks for your observation in pointing out that Felix Prosper is from LaPlaine. It was just a mistake and by the time I noticed it, it was already sent and could not be corrected.
However, the truth of the matter is, whether Felix is from Laplaine, Vielle case Warner or even as far as Japan, when at fault we all know that the Prime Minister has established a reputation of making secret deals to cover him up like he did to Matt Peltier and others. That’s the fundermental truth and if you are in doubt ask Matt and attorneys of both sides.
@ littleboy,do you need a pasifier ? filix is definitely not from vieille case. you so busy to condemn the PM ,that you are grasping at straws.
This idiot name Wikileaks really getting from bad to worse.
What is this obsession with tax payers footing bill and blaming uwp? The uwp is meeting their own cost! and if Skerrit had taken the witness stand the matter would have been summed up already!
The fear of being found guilty is what prolonged this matter you idiot!
The next time your girl accuses of cheating, I want you to be honest and please give her the name of the woman or guy…ok….if not I will sell you out.
“Moses” has to testify? Ah ben, look it! Traitors on board. Jen Laplaine examine their horns!
Look all the lawyers laughing all the way to the bank. The only winners in this case will be the lawyers. If there are any intelligent individuals left in the UWP, please, to save your party realise when you have not got a case.
Thought the Government was the reason for the delay
lol….as soon as I said let me go read what those idiots wrote today…i see your post at the top…hahaha….
Is it right for any member of the ‘Independent’ Electoral Commission to seem to be taking sides in that dual citizenship case? Isn’t the matter having something to do with the alledged disregard for the Constitution and electoral laws of the country?
What is lawful? What is undemocratic? What is conflict of interest in my land? What is right and what is wrong? it doesn’t matter? Oh !! it depends on who do the act and not whether what was done was wrong or against the law?
The child takes money in the home without asking the parents. it is OK? Next day he/she takes $2. Still OK? the child goes by Nassief, steals some clothes, that’s Ok too. The child grows up not being scolded by the parents at all for adopting a habit of stealing and lying. Tell me frankly, what do you expect as that child gets older? Dominicans must regret supporting what is wrong. That attitude will surely come back to hunt the nation. Some people are afraid of the TRUTH. They are afraid to hear it, speak it, or support it. But no lie could last forever. Truth must prevail.
Trust among all those asking for our support in the bid to be our leaders should be across the board. It should not be for one and not the others.
It is indeed about the constituion which is not reflective of the society we have become. It is evident during this court proceedings re the dual citizenship, that there is a need to change the law.
Dominicans will regret if they fail to use this opportunity to have an open discussion of changes to the constitution.
We cannot place a blind eye those in the past who have done the same wrong and is trying to bring down and democratically elected government.
This is also an opportunity for the opposition to take there rightful place in parliament and raise and discuss the issue.
Trust I agree is expected from all those who wanting to take up any leadership role. It is apparent this dual citizenship will continue to be an issue. So my proposal is to be inclusive and allow native Dominicans the opportunity to actively particiate in our elections.
Exactly, as in the case of Ron Green. It was not wrong when he had dual cittzenship all these years but, it is wrong for Ppime Minister Skerritt and Minister St. Jean.
Exactly, as in the case of Ron Green. It was not wrong for him to have dual citizenship all these years but, it is wrong for Prime Minister Skerritt and Minister St. Jean.
Much respect to you Honourable Prime Minister for demonstrating, once again that democracy is alive and well in D/ca by making it clear to all that you will abide by the courts decisision. This does not sound like a dictator to me.
Well said..All these things must come to an end one day. Nothing lasts for ever.
or if the child stole the money or thief by nassief should we leave it for the court to decide???????? Where are Our Convictions
THE SKERRIT ADMINISTRATION HAS DEVELOPED A BAD REPUTATION FOR DOMINICA WITH THE U.S. THIS IS BAD FOR DOMINICA AND BAD FOR ALL THOSE DOMINICANS LIVING IN THE U.S.
HE HAS LOTS OF QESTIONS TO ANSWER. WILL THIS AFFECT THE ECONOMY OF THIS TINY ISLAND? DOMINICANS THE BALL IS IN YOUR COURT.
Please, Dominicans are not the Taliban. Dominica is soverign nation and should be govern as such.
Trying to create a situation which is not there. Am surprise that you seem to be support the view that instead of actively engaging the leaders of the Caribbean, the American Embassador would stupe to that level and interaction with Caribbean people.
They have right to do so because of mind set that we have to always remain submissive to the mighty America.
I believe for the massive amount of Caribbean people living and contributing to American economy, the American governments to give more support and have meaningful engagement with the Caribbean states. Are continously going accept the crumb which falls off the American People.
American has a huge part to play with the economies of the Caribbean especially those Banana producing islands when they push for the WTO to remove the perferal treatment we had with Britian. They gave us not option but went with chiquta and others because of funding support to the campaign of a former American President. They main who we know. So what are we supposed to do, ly down and play dead. Hello no. It is a survival game and because of the charities of others most Caribbean Island are experiencing some relief.
u wana be american with that name u have what the heck are they going to do to dominicans when will people like u stop being scared, stand up. what u scared they send u back home?
Dominica is not a colony of the United States. Though we live in a global village we have to respect the sovereignty of a country. Dominica is not married to the US.
Sometime ago the United States withdrew military assistant to some Countries in the Caribbean who voted for the establishment of the international criminal court. Why is it that it is only the leader of developing countries are referred to the court. In my opinion Gorge Bush Junior, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Tony Blair among others should be tried for crimes against humanity. More people have died in Iraq since the Americans invaded than under Saddam Hussein yet he was executed.
Our foreign policy should be driven by our domestic interest plain and simple.
We should not be too concerned if Mr Skerritt have developed a bad reputation for Dominica with America, over the last 3 decades what have America done for the Caribbean Islands, but to help destroy the banana industry with the help of the (WTO) world trade organisation in favour of the Chiquita brand, which is owned by an American citizen by the name of Carl Linder. America does not invest in the Caribbean, that’s why we are forced to go to the Chinese with a begging bowl!
The Americans took away our ability to earn a decent living by destroying our Banana Industry and we should blindly support them? They are the ones who put us in this situation.
Over the many years they took our support for granted.
All Caribbean people living in the U.S.of A should lobby to have the American government provide more support to the Caribbean just like the jews align their support to the political party or candidate who support ther Jewish cause. If they make no commitment to support the Caribbean then withhold your vote.
There are millions of Caribbean folks living in America and they can really make and impact if they come together and demand change to the Caribbean / America relationship. Stop thinking that you cannot help to implement change.
For those idiots who believe that taxpayers are paying the bill for the circus that is going on the the court of the commonwealth of Dominica, if they are so concerned why didn’t they adivise their cult leaders to take the stand and settle the issu once and fror all,just answer that simple question Are you or are you not holders of French passports issued to you on such and such a date? That would have resolved that matter quicker, it is not to late to ask them to reconsider taking the stand to save the coutry this embarassment!
For liittle short men like Lilliput to talk gibberish and no one answers him…he is dead wrong. Mr Liilliput, all of this could be avoided when Ron Green ran as Parl Rep on many instances and no one stopped him…lol
Why does Skerrit and St Jean have to take the stand to tell Ron Green the very same thing Ron Green did.
Lilliput not because you are in your cheating affair and when the girl leaves you, you decide to snitch on other men.
It doesn’t work that way…Take your loss as a man
Now can you close the door on your way out??
Gulliver from Lilliput ?? why did you not use your mouth wisely. So you say I thief and you want me to come and say yes I thief. You have to prove your point because it may be well a set up. Come on please stop this hatred and let us move forward. We do understand what the evil one is doing – kill, steal and destroy and he uses open doors (human beings) to spread his evil deeds and in the process some of us don’t even see the nonesence we talk. Did u remember that Ron Green, Eddison James, Peter Carbon and el al all had dual citizenship when they contested elections as well and served as parliamentarians. Now to bring down one (1) Man whose guts they hate (hatred is a sin) and the fruit of the Evil One (Not of God who is Love), they looked at everything and not finding any fault, use this one to cause a sensation. All Illegal persons belong to outer space. All on this world are legal in God’s eyes. We as human beings choose who we follow and some of us here now follow lost person (they lost at the General Election) to try and degrade and being down others. Tell your boys return to do their work for the next General Election, Hi this is going to be very soon as time flies my boy and they will be caught again with their pants down. ????????????? the same thing since December, 2009. We already half way there boy we in 2011. Look a waste of precious time trying to bring one man down.
In all of this , have you all forgotten the God who created the heavens and the Earth. It is not us who created them.
Father open our eyes of understanding
One final point Lilli – who took who to court?? So who wants to waste taxpayers money??? Trying to make it look like the one man eh .. Educate yourself .. This is a civil matter and not a Government matter so the funds cannot be paid by the Treasury. Educate yourselves and you will understand how things work in the Government System or if you do not know then ask before you just comment.
Alas see how far some persons can go to be in power. Agree when we lose fair and square and wait for the next round (General Election) Dominica is no ones Estate and God is in control. He puts up and he puts down. He has the final say.
I sympathize with you,but you have to find some eye salve to wash your eyes that you may see
Politricks is at its height of glory in Dominica. Meanwhile the country remains the most backward in the caribbean irrespective of it size and available resources.
Mediocre mindset is endemic in Dominica
Caribbean genius SAYS, ‘Mediocre mindset is endemic in Dominica”
Apparently from the beginning of time. dOMINICA HAS BEEN VERY SELECTIVE IN WHO SHE NURTURES AND WHO SHE GIVES THE NASTIES.
Even all the DOFFERENT people they brought in like Indians, Portugese, French and British, none of them coud do a thing with Dominica.
Some Bishop from the region wrote that England should give Dominica to Hitlar. The Bishop claimed that Dominica would frustrate Hitlar to the point where he would stop being able to think of mischief.
Dominica does not want to be developed. It just wants to be left as a garden, the 21st century’s Garden of Eden.
Form the fool with her still. If allu want to believe in obeah, then hear this: Dominican have the whole lot of you by the gwenn.
You mean Caribbean FOOL
@wow…
did u feel better calling me that.. lol
How much books have you read lately, how much documentary watched, research done???
Very wrong boy. Dominica? Present your stats
@anonymous..
1. no international airport
2. no 4-5 star hotels
3. no theatre,casino,nightclub
4. one lane roads/ when it should be two
5. grass and trees covering the roads
6. old run down buildings and shacks in the town.
7. no malls, shopping complexes etc etc
If u havent traveled, well you wouldnt know better so you might have a point why you say dominica isnt backward..
Genius why criticise our Country .. I know that we are not backward. Take back your words. There are so many things to be thankful for in this country. To name them would take too much space and DNO would censure me. Genius you say you are!
@ ?? Why bother with this so called Caribbean Genius?
I’ve travelled , lived a big cities and I still say Dominica is not backward.
This attitude of ‘OK for me, but not for you’ adopted by those who know full well that they have also tricked the Dominican people is beyond belief.
I dont care when they got their dual citizenship, they knew it was wrong. Instead of people insulting each other (and their country), they should be angry that those they trust have clearly shown them nothing but disrespect.
@f.u.d
Maybe you have traveled,although i doubt you have. You have obviously not learned anything from your travels. OR maybe your standards are set so, low that to you a few rum shacks here and there is being developed and keeping up with the wider world.
If you have kids that travels, or look at tv or be on the net like you (seeing that u on dno): ask them if they think dom is backward and listen to the ansa…
WHEN LAST WERE U IN DOMINICA?
Imagine the cucumbility. Why is uwp wasting time in a court when the country have so much work to do. Wasting the PM time . Come on man where are the brains of workers pple. What kind of opposition are you ? U all are brainless power hungers parasites waiting for the the downfall of their preys. But at the end skerit will be victorious and will still get the full support of the dominican public. Do you know that UWP is going to lead this country into one party state? Just wait and you will see. Cause they are not working in the interest of dominicans. Only looking for a never open door to enter to fill their pockets. But tell them NEVER.
The boat the witness is on got delayed out at sea because of the series of tropical storms and hurricanes over the past few days.
God works in mysterious ways.
lol…lol…only on DNO you will find those nonsensical comments…which boat?…the one your mother buy?..hahaha
Trouble intended:
Felix Prosper, the key witness for the petitioners, is quite an interesting character. We need to know more about him. An investigative journalist must check out his profile.
Does he work in a CARICOM country, French, British or US Territory? Is he a citizen of another country? I know that Felix is not on trial but he may help us crack another part of the case. We may finally have a name, a face and a country from which a member of the diaspora came to vote in the 2009 general elections.
I am just speculating but it would be interesting to know more about this guy.We know who he supports, campaigned and voted for. Was he already in Dominica or did he come specifically for the election? How soon after the election did he return to his place of residence? Who paid his fares? Those who have the answers, please clarify. It may just be a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Do you remember the UWP accusing the DLP of bringing people from the diaspora to vote? They had no evidence so that part of their case was thrown out. They may well be presenting DLP with evidence that accuses UWP? Where is an investigative journalist when we need one?
ou toe sot, on a cruise ship the man working, his job is seasonal, he could have been here during the election, eh eh, he is DOMINICAN and lives HERE when he not on high waters, woy…..
@ Positive:
We are making progress here Mr. Smarty Pants Positive. How could I know where he works if you did not tell me? But, does a seasonal job means that he is in Dominica every off season? If not, where does he reside? Tell me more! Does he have wife and kids? If yes; where are they? Does he have a green card or a naturalization certificate? If he has, then, all my previous questions in the above post apply.
Last time I checked, many cruise lines have their headquarters in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Many cruise ships have home ports in Tampa, Alaska, Bahamas and Barbados so cruises can originate from those home ports. I can’t recall Dominica being a home port. Can you? So the ship captain could not have hired Felix while making a porl call in Roseau. He had to follow the normal application process, whether online or in person, and be interviewed by human resource personnel. So although I am not going to call you TI SOT, like you did to me, I still want to know more about this guy. DA’s Wikileaks said that he works with Royal Caribbean. Did he apply at their Miami headquarters? Tell me more! Trouble intended!
(PS: Trouble Intended, please excuse me for infringing on your copy-righted nom de plume!)
Felix Prosper of La Plaine who is now employed as a seaman with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines…
I think he post here as Sexy Balaw…I though Sexy Balaw was a girl.
So Felix is a fish on both sides then…always heard that about them man on those cruise boat.
On a serious Note, what can this man tell us that we don’t know yet…
Boy uwp them fellas have jokes
South Man if you have nothing to say it is better to stay quiet, than to open you mouth and appear stupid.
Is it stupid to ask questions; to have an inquiry mind? OK!
Wikileaks please explain to the audience what you mean by taxpayers footing the bill. This is all I ask. I ride alone, I am not influenced by anybody. OK, she hold your horses right there . Relax and tell us what you mean by tax payers footing the bill and whose bill you think they should or are footing!!
Garcon, I answered you. The court is not a private institution, so the public will have to foot the cost of all what you see going on there. From PM down to those weird looking witness the oppostion uwp has.
So if you ride alone as you claim, why do want to an elected goverment and its people to attand a democracy function by the lowly uwp who keep receiving tax payers money and refuses to o to Parliament.
Lilliput, please change your name…this name means an idiotic, mentally challenged short guy…What are you telling us???
This Wikileaks moron seem to think that the Treasury has to pay for the case now going on. Pay who? The wages to the Judge and Court personnel are fixed whether case calls or not. No one is expecting the Treasury to pay the UWP Attorneys and their witnesses. This never happens. Similarly, Skerrit and St. Jean will have to meet their defense costs.
You must be the biggest . Everything has a cost. The Budgetting Office has to put a cost to this operation. Had this case not been going on, the Judge would not be here, The PM could have been somewhere negotiatin something on behalf of your ugly face or maybe even begging on your behalf, when you fo to the Red Clinic…
What about the police and the transportation and the security of the judge
Where do they really get these uwp bafoons from
Gulliver u again . Right Wikileaks yes you are right this is “opportunity Costs” not always tangible but those intangible costs do cost a lot.
DOMINICANS!! YOU ALL GOT TO STOP SUPPORTING SKERRITT BLINDLY. OPEN YOUR EYES AND ASK THE RELAVANT QUESTIONS.
“DID HE OR DID HE NOT.”
Did Ron Green did or did not? Then come back to us.
Ron came clean…. is labour fault if they did not take Ron up for dual before, is they dat blunder
Well let’s make a trail for him too after who needs to be put in jail gets there. Justice for one, justice for all. Not the type of justice you want.
O.K. We will stop suppporting him blindly. We will support him with our eyes wide open.
What is wrong with you people “did he or did he not” You said he did so where is your facts not parler en bouche… You want to say something about me which may or may not be true and you take me to court and I have to come and prove your point for you?????????? People that is not how the court works? The petitioners need to prove their case. The Judge always says that the “person is considered inocent untill proven guilty and it is the duty of the prosecution to convince the jurors that the ‘person/s brought before the court” is guilty beyond a reasonable of a doubt.
Go to school and learn about those things.
why would the UWP screw up…arent they thinkers..honestly everyone is expecting this case to sum up soon..why didnt know that about their witness before..i wish the lawyers on the skero side does the legal tactic do deal again..shame on the UWP they should be the first ones to get their house in order..im anti-government to the bone dislike the polices of this corrupted regime.
But honestly UWP should have be more brilliant in the process matter..they have lost a few points and deserve a calot on their heads for sleeping…
But honestly UWP should have be more brilliant in the process matter..they have lost a few points and deserve a calot on their heads for sleeping…Since when have the uwp ever been brilliant.
The most brilliant move the uwp has ever done was to elect Spraggs Bonecrusher John as their leader and opposition leader.
That is just super intelligent
For once, PLEASE SHUP UP.
You must be getting paid a huge sum …just sitting all day answering every opinion on DNO that does not fit with your vacuumed ideals.
Please take a break.
I believe that at this point Mr. Mendez should have known that this key witness was out even before the matter had started and should have gotten him to testify long ago. What is the UWP’s Legal Team really trying. We Dominicans are not fools and we know that the UWP is only doing all they possibly can to enter as “the legitimate Governing Body” through the back door.
THere will be another excuse on the 29th,im so sure of that,the guy Prosper observe that the uwp case make no sence so he will stay away.Thats a delay tactic because the case has been lost by uwp even before it began.sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
question to DNO
what is organized crime?
ADMIN: Google it!!
I wish I was UWP Lawyers the longer the Money.
UWP why not call the ?????? OFF.
What is the Felix the Cat guy gonna say or do or bring. Unless the guy is carrying the French Passport or the French Cheese, we should just cancel this witness.
What a sham…I hope Dominicans hold these uwp members responsibile for this huge courts cost. I don’t see why tax payers should foot this bill.
Dominicans, its about time we protest against the abuses of the uwp. This is not Democracy, but political persecution.
Do you really expect tax payers to foot that bill? Whose bill do youthink they should foot? This is so intersting from the intelligent, informed, educated class of Dominica.. Do you see what I mean when I say that these people should do themselves a favor and go to the Democracy forum that the CFGG is having tonight? They do not have a clue!
Gulliver in the Culvert…who is going to foot the bill for all these day lost to non productive issue…the police, the courts, the security…
Why do uwp members always act so stupidly and complete stupid again. Did Blessings teach you this crap.
Lilliput, come on…you know better than that. Even Lennox Linton and Matt knows that, and with your stupid intelligence, I would expect you to know some foolish things too.
Shut the Door on your way out
Lilliput did you not read what Wikileaks says how the Taxpayers will be paying as well. See Wikileaks comment about and I quote “You must be the biggest . Everything has a cost. The Budgetting Office has to put a cost to this operation. Had this case not been going on, the Judge would not be here, The PM could have been somewhere negotiatin something on behalf of your ugly face or maybe even begging on your behalf, when you fo to the Red Clinic…
What about the police and the transportation and the security of the judge”
So Lilliput here are the facts again!
Gulliver,please go and find some job.Find some work to do.You sit your butt where you are pretending things are so rosey with you.You are just an embarassment to those you live with.They are fed up with you.
Wikileaks as far as I know should be associated with intelligence but this wikileaks seems to be the dumd onw. Are you part of the Dominicans who will be paying the court cost? You should ask who is paying Tony’s cost, that is what Dominicans should be more concerned about.
Naturally the respondents – This is a civil matter and the Treasury cannot pay for it. They were brought to court as individuals and not as Government Ministers. If they cannot pay Tony then I guess you can contrbute ( you are so interested) or the supporters especially the Old Folks ( whom he has taken care of – remember they pray blessings over him all the time) will donate. If Eddie could get donations when Mamo sued him for again ” a foolish allegations” then why can’t PM / Education Minister not get donations to foot Tony’s bill. Even in the Diaspora , students and all will donate to this bill.
So you should not worry who will foot Tony’s bill.
You should be concerned that you learn something from this foolish saga.
It is not a criminal case it is a civil case, so I believe the loser pays.
When uwp lose their case,they have to pay both their lawyers and the respondents lawyers fees.The judge has to direct them to pay cost.Total fees is in the region of 350 thousand dollars.Guess they will be back on q95 askink for pledges.
@just saying… i agree 110%. We know that this case is just a form of entertainment for now.
It will be going straight to the bin borbol.
For now they just wasting tax payers money.
stupeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssss!it have to go so until next election come if is sort uwpee sort.my three year old son can see that case going straight in the garbage bin muchless for adults that have all their good judgement,wisdom, and alot more understanding and foresight!
even my grandson displays more commonsense than you,ala,pore zor.
thats what i meant.
i think people should get an IQ test before they are allowed to have children
my God!
you mean you have kids?
Disgusting comment .. Try to slander and bring down the commentator. Yes of course some little children display more commonsence than some adults and let me hear the insults for saying this. Don’t u think the children are asking question. Imagine I heard a small child say why they doing this and they should wait and do somthing and wait for next election.
You realise that children too love the PM and they don’t understand why someone/other would want the PM out of office that way without a General Election and my my you should see the age of those kids 5/ 6 years.
Let us be role model to those kids and show them that we love one another.
One other thing – These kids are not following their parents colors.
okay…. tings getting hot… mendes and astaphans getting a fat paycheck dere eh… them guys probably calling each other…
A; how come ur witnesses lapsing like that nah

A; cool… see u tomorrow in the house where i rule
The worst experience a Domincan can have is to know that he or she is a member or supporter of the uwp.
do not concern yourself with them is not much. They are of no consequence. The list of Anti Govt policy persons were 29. When you remove the 26 patriots is 3 uwp it have. Ron Green, Eddison James, and Norris Prevost. So dont worry my firend dont get high blood pressure and burst a vein. Laba will prevail and rule for etrnity. Laba in for the long haul like Roosie who came with division and Pierro who tried to rearrange our ignorance.
WIKILEAKS COULD YOU KNIDLY POST COMMENTS THAT ARE UP TO THE LEVEL OF THE INTELLIGENT AND PATRIOTIC OPPOSITION? THANK YOU.
lol…red blue or green….this is funny!
