Minister of Justice, Immigration and National Security, Rayburn Blackmoore<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In what is becoming a war of words, National Security Minister, Rayburn Blackmoore, has called on the Dominica Bar Association (DBA) to retract a statement it made following comments he uttered regarding the granting of bail to double murder-accused Jonathan Lehrer.<\/p>\n

He said he is “deeply saddened” by the statement made by the DBA, in which it questioned whether he was challenging the independence of the judiciary in Dominica.<\/p>\n

“I wish to say that this baseless statement is imputing improper motive on me,” Blackmoore said.\u00a0“I hope therefore that the statement of the bar association is retracted immediately and consideration be given to the fact that the relationship between parliament, the judiciary, and the public is to protect the interest of all people of the nation.”<\/p>\n

He called on the DBA to “uphold the rule of law.”<\/p>\n

“And to be guided by that it is in the interest of justice that it [retracts] this statement,” he pointed out.<\/p>\n

The minister argued that the DBA has provided no basis in law showing that his statement had amounted to interference in judicial independence.<\/p>\n

“I did absolutely nothing wrong,” he stressed.<\/p>\n

Last week news broke that the High Court in Dominica had opened bail for Lehrer, who was charged along with his accomplice, Robert Snider Jr., on December 6, 2023, for the brutal murder of well-known Canadian businessman Daniel Langlois and his partner, Dominique Marchand.<\/p>\n

Less than 24 hours later, Blackmoore made it clear that the state was “totally opposed” to the move, saying while he appreciates the independence of the court, there is consensus in society that certain crimes, because of the brutality involved, are very serious and must be dealt with by the courts in the most serious manner. He also said that the public interest is a \u201ctranscending issue\u201d in the case, and it must be seen as being \u201cpreserved and protected by the court at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DBA was quick to respond, saying Blackmoore’s view on the matter was \u201cconcerning and unfortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis type of public criticism by a Minister of Government of a judicial decision unnecessarily casts a shadow over the independence of the judiciary and risks eroding public confidence in our legal system,\u201d the organization said.<\/p>\n

In his latest response, Blackmoore appeared to show disappointment in the DBA’s criticism of his statement.<\/p>\n

“I have always held the bar association of Dominica in the highest regard,” Blackmoore remarked.<\/p>\n

“I know several of its members are distinguished attorneys at law both in Dominica and internationally, however, I believe firstly, that one needs to beg the question: why such a statement is being made counteracting my statement made in respect to the bail order of the High Court concerning the accused in question…”<\/p>\n

According to him, as Minister of National Security and Legal Affairs in Dominica, it is his duty to inform Dominicans on matters of public interest.<\/p>\n

He said in the early stages of the prosecution of the matter, which had sparked interest locally and internationally, he addressed the public through a press conference but the DBA was silent at that time.<\/p>\n

“At this time, there [were] absolutely no statements made by the bar association of Dominica,” he stated.<\/p>\n

“My recent statement, however, seems to have attracted concern. In my statement, I did not in any way commit the act of interference in judicial independence. I in no way made statements attacking His Lordship. I also did not advocate for and direct in any way that a particular ruling be made. My comments were also made after the order of bail was granted and I remained silent during previous litigation of the matter, both at the first bail hearing in April and this one in the month of November.”<\/p>\n

Blackmoore also argued that judges do not have immunity from criticism.<\/p>\n

“Coupled with this, the bar association ought to consider that judges can be subject to criticism, both by lawyers and public officials, as long as this criticism is one, respectful, two, measured and free based on evidence,” he said.<\/p>\n

He added that criticism of judges can be made but it must be done without malice and it must not disrupt the administration of justice.<\/p>\n

The National Security Minister questioned whether the statement from the DBA was approved and ratified by the majority of its members.<\/p>\n

“Clearly, it appears that this unsigned statement being circulated may not be that of the distinguished bar association that I know to be existing in Dominica and may be one-sided and similarly partisan,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In what is becoming a war of words, National Security Minister, Rayburn Blackmoore, has called on the Dominica Bar Association (DBA) to retract a statement it made following comments he uttered regarding the granting of bail to double murder-accused Jonathan…","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":321947,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[19,235,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-333680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime-court-law","category-homepage-carousel","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nBlackmoore strikes back at DBA in Lehrer bail matter -
