DLP members to appear before magistrate on May 13 on treating charges

Astaphan, Shillingford

A controversial and long standing election treating matter against Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit and other Dominica Labour Party (DLP) elected members regarding the 2014 general elections, will go before a magistrate on Thursday May 13, 2021.

Chief Magistrate Candia Carrette-George confirmed this in a letter dated April 6, 2021 and addressed to Attorney Cara Shillingford, who represents Antoine Defoe (now deceased), Mervin John Baptiste and Edingcot St. Valle – the three individuals who brought the complaints against the DLP members.

In her letter, the chief magistrate noted that she had received the relevant Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) Order through the proper channel and that the case has been set for 9 a.m. at Magistrate’s Court #2 on the said date.

This issue stems from 2015 criminal complaints in which Skerrit and the DLP members were accused of election treating by hosting two free concerts ahead of the polls. As a result, summonses were issued by a magistrate against Skerrit and the DLP members who, through their lawyers, sought judicial review of that decision. The high court ruled in their favour and decided that the summonses were invalid.

However, Defoe, John Baptiste and St. Valle appealed that decision at the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal and won. This was in turn, appealed at the CCJ by the DLP members, leading to a decision on March 9, 2021 in which the appeal was dismissed and henceforth the summonses against the DLP members were reinstated.

Not long after that decision, the lead lawyer for the DLP, Senior Counsel Anthony Astaphan indicated to media that he believed the DPP should intervene in the prosecution of the case, as has been done in other Eastern Caribbean jurisdictions such as St. Kitts and St. Vincent. He proposed a nolle prosequi or discontinuance in which he said the DPP is able to request that the complainants provide all evidence regarding their claims by a certain date and if they fail to do so, dismiss the charges against his clients.

“Why shouldn’t our DPP have the same constitutional duty and obligation?” Astaphan had asked.

On March 24, DLP Attorney, Lennox Lawrence from Platinum Law Chambers, penned a letter to the DPP copied to lawyers on both sides, the chief magistrate and attorney general, asking for the matter to be discontinued against his clients.

The letter laid out various reasons for the request and called on both the DPP and attorney general to play a role in satisfying this petition.

Among the reasons cited for their request, lawyers for the DLP said that the complaints filed do not disclose the statutory offence of treating under Section 56 of the House of Assembly (Elections) Act and have no reasonable prospect of conviction.

The letter argued that hosting a public concert on two days during an election does not constitute as treating and that the complaints do not point to any specific person who corruptly treated and who was influenced to vote for a particular candidate on the days in question.

Notwithstanding this, come May 13th, this case will be heard before a magistrate to be assigned by the chief magistrate.

Headed with the subject, “Skerrit et al Vs. Defoe at al CCJ Appeal Number DMCV2020/00” the total body of the chief magistrate’s letter was as follows:

“I write as a follow up to my letter to you dated 30th March 2021, re the above-captioned subject matter.”

“I have since received the relevant CCJ Order, through the proper channel.”

“Please note that the matter is set to be heard on Thursday 13th May, 2021, 9 a.m. at Court #2. The defendants will be summoned to appear on that date and time.”

    Everything possible is being done by the Paper Tiger (Skerrit regime) to avoid a fair trial in a court of law.

    What a site to behold to see the Mother Hen leading her chicks to court despite their every trick in the book to delay and frustrate justice. However, the hotter the battle the sweeter will be the victory.

      But Clowny, the people taking the DLP to task are regular citizens. None of them represent the UWP. These are ordinary citizens who are standing up for something that they believe is wrong and against the law/constitution. Why do they have to be labelled as UWP criminals. Nowhere in this court case is Lennox Linton or any UWP representative mentioned. Your comments are hilarious.

    Justice must be seen to be done! The CCJ Order “Skerrit et al Vs. Defoe at al CCJ Appeal Number DMCV2020/00” is instructive. It does not need any interpretation and reinterpretation by the lawyers for the Labour Party Government, the Attorney General, The Director of Public Prosecution, DLP Attorney Lennox Lawrence or Senior Counsel Anthony Astaphan! All it needed was for the CCJ Order to be followed with as instructed! Too much interference with justice in the Commonwealth of Dominica by Government operatives, lawyers, ministers, and persons who care more about the survival of their political party than the advancement of jurisprudence, rule of law, and constitutional sovereign and maturity for the Commonwealth of Dominica. Come on my people, let love of country prevail. True patriotism is about putting Dominica first and not Labour party, or UWP, or Freedom party, let us all as patriotic Dominicans put our country, its laws and its constitution first!

    I now understand that Skerrit and the de facto leader of Dominica, Tony, are making every effort possible to avoid having this case go before a magistrate to be legally and rightfully adjudicated.

    It is often said that justice is blind but in Dominica it has one eye. One set of people of a particular political persuasion seems to be above the law. The present misfit in the office of the prime minister boldly declared that no constitution, no law can prevent him from having his own way.

    Every organization, institution, most of the supposedly local NGOs are politically tainted by this unimaginable corrupt ruling regime. These unscrupulous predators will become even more emboldened to circumvent the laws of the land because Dominicans remain mostly passive and indifferent to all the machinations, skullduggery and transgressions of this evil enterprise.

    The last institution that the people of any country lose confidence in is the court. Sad but true, justice in Dominica is…

Will the matter be frustrated in court and eventually be thrown out? Will elected officials be forced to give up their positions in government? Will politicians continue to bribe the populace with grand concerts featuring international artists week in-week out, pay for boat and plane loads of people to vote in their favor, co-erce poor people with stacks of cash and truck loads of building materials? All while boasting that they are the administration with the most money. Last election, i saw politicians embrace well known drug dealers and criminals. They are the snipers and navy seals Melissa spoke about.

    Will these practices continue to happen, not just in Dominica, but in the rest of the region? Will we continue to sell our votes and freedom for money and material things that are short lived? Will we continue to beg.

    2. Will a foreign magistrate be brought in to hear the case or will former magistrate/ police officer Booway-Face from Loubiere be given a contract to hear this case?
    3. Will Skerrit and his stooges be sent to prison like everyone else upon conviction conviction?
    4. How long will the appeal process drag on WHEN they are convicted?
    5. Will they be denied bail while the appeal process continue? After all, that is a serious crime and we can no longer drag our feet.
    6. Will the Attorney General be advising/ representing the state or the cabalist seeing that the laws of the Staes were broken.

    To have a politcal party engaged in Treating is politically wrong, devious, corrupted, shameful and dishonourable by members and its leadership Labour Party Government. This is obviously Shameful and against the logic and decency of our government and its people who pay their taxes and work hard to support their families. The tax revenue that we contribute to the state is Non Political and not for fancy Political nor Partisan Nonesensical Abuse by a sitting Government. This current LABOUR GOVERNMENT we just DO NOT TRUST.

    I’ve just watched once again the Aljazeera Documentary on the corrupt practices of Mr. Skerrit and his confidants involving the sale of diplomatic passports and funds to finance the DLP bid for re-elections. Many of the stories and allegations in this report have clear evidence of ‘TREATING’ related to this case and others.

    I’m not shocked by the denials of Skerrit and his lapdog supporters. What baffles me is simply this. How could local journalists, prominent business people, clergymen who claim to be personally anointed by God Himself; the many civic groups sit idly by and watch in complete silence as corruption by a few impoverishes many thousands of Dominicans who are fast becoming second class citizens in the land of their birth?

    Are Dominicans a unique breed of people? My conclusion is that Dominicans are unmatched in their level of tolerance to accept and reward sadism and ineptitude. They are too easily satisfied and much too docile.

    Despite the efforts of the Labor cabal to not have this historic day, it’s going to happen. The reason they wanted to sweep the matter out is because they very well know that there are issues raised, which in law they have to answer to and it’s not a clear and dry matter. Tony didn’t ask his client to present his passport to the court proving that he didn’t have dual citizenship, now he wants to call for the plaintiffs to bring evidence to the court. I know he represents his clients interests, but the local courts in Dominica which in the past have bowed to the wishes of the DLP can’t protect him now. Let’s see how he does this time. His legacy rests heavily on this trial.I wish Cara Shillingford and the rest best wishes and hope to celebrate their continued victory.

      Let me paint a scenario for you. If Donald Trump was brought to court for inciting the January 6, 2021, incident at the United States Capitol which was stormed during the riot resulting in the violent attack against the U.S. Congress. He is the defendant, is it inappropriate for his Lawyers to ask the plaintiffs to provide evidence to show that he incited the rioters, he who cries foul provide the evidence, isn’t that a basic principle in the pursuit of justice, shouldn’t that basic principle apply to the DLP defendants. What is so hard to understand such principle, are you that silly or just blindly letting your political partisan beliefs replace your reason. The previous case with The PM you mentioned was not about dual citizenship but “allegiance” it is very sad to come here and defend your blindness regarding such matter.

      • Jonathan Y St Jean
        April 20, 2021

        @Gary, you can choose to split hairs and that’s your business. Having citizenship of a country means you have allegiances to that country, so having two passports mean you are a citizen if two countries and as such have allegiances to both. It’s permitted by Dominca, the US and other countries except that when you are sworn in to defend one country you can’t be beholden to others. I just don’t get your point on the matter.
        On the question of evidence, the DPP and magistrate have set a date for the trial. Didn’t they know that they needed evidence before setting a trial date? Why do the complainants have to present evidence to the defendants when the magistrate didn’t have the foresight to request the evidence before even setting a trial date? The Skerritt regime is the one that appointed the magistrate and the DPP. If they are incompetent then it’s on the Skerritt cabal for putting the judicial system in jeopardy. The mockery is falling right back on them.

When I arrived in Dominica I still wasn’t sure I was going to vote because I didn’t like what I saw. But after attending two free concerts especially the last one with Donnie McClurkin, I finally decided to vote when he asked for something Red and the gave him a Skerrit shirt. But after seeing how these suckers caused Ross to leave, their deals with Alireza Monfared and how Zampolli exposed those guys to a New York Court that got $30 million each from our passport money through the so called Kempinski hotel I said its enough and we really need those suckers out. So this time I will pay my money to come tell the court who gave me the ticket and other stuff I know. You know how hard a Red Ant bite feels?

      Why would you entertain and store such chronological COMMESS in your mind and attribute to something outside yourself. Do you think that your COMMESS, assumed truth is really an honest and truthful description of The DLP. Why do you choose to ignore the positive things taking place in the country. What is sad, you are trying to get a solution for Dominica with your COMMESS, assumed truth, by asking for boots on the ground, such wishful thinking, laughable.

      Your COMMESS, assumed truth is your windows to view the developments taking place, if you do not take time to question your assumed truth, it will morph, as shown by your silly repetitive rhetoric. You choosing to view Dominica and The DLP with your list of assumed truth does not have any effect as to the reality taking place in the Country.

      April 21, 2021

      When you say, “people that are charged with a crime should not be afraid to answer to their crime.” have you not heard of a word “alleged.” You also need to understand that if someone is accused of an alleged criminal offence the Plaintiff has to provide evidence to support their claims that the defendants committed a criminal offence. The Courtroom is not a circus.
