Usually when a file is lost , something called a dummy file is created with copies , it is highly unlikely a high profile case file goes missing after some years and just magically reappears once the spotlight is on it. You can fool some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time but you cannot fool all the people all of the time.The_Honourable wrote:A la peanut butter sandwiches...
The file has reappeared...

Is it a possibility these kidnappers/murderers and rapists can be re-trialed?

They were already found not guilty in 2016 so that's done.
The malicious prosecution case is a different one that began in 2020. Question is if the state can overturn the 20M award at appeals with the reappeared file.
In the eyes of the law they were wrongfully imprisoned, also they were wrongfully accused so their characters are tarnished. People will always brand them as one of them. I guess the judge took that into consideration, they can restart their lives in some with this compensation.pugboy wrote:them judges using a very high rate of interest though
they using the same kinda interest like how their pensions are indexed to adjust
Probably do but is if the cameras working is another questionpugboy wrote:so they dont have cameras in the offices to see who bring the file back ?
...Persad-Bissessar stated that a careful read of Master Alexander’s judgment, however, reveals that the AG was represented by then-counsel Reid-Ballantyne at the trial of the assessment of damages, and actively participated in the matter.
The judgment records that Reid-Ballantyne filed written submissions and made oral arguments to the court in this matter, she added.
She pointed out that on December 1, 2022, Reid-Ballantyne was appointed a puisne judge of the High Court.
In her letter to the CJ, Persad-Bissessar raised concerns about Reid-Ballantyne conducting an entire trial to assess the damages in the case without having a file.
She stated: “If correct, it amounts to a gross dereliction of duty, professional negligence, and flagrant violation of the Code of Ethics that governs the legal profession.
“This would render her unfit to hold the office of judge in the Supreme Court of Justice, which requires that judges possess a high level of personal and professional integrity and impeccable character.”
The Opposition had called on Justice Reid-Ballantyne to clear the air on this troubling allegation as a matter of urgency, but there continues to be silence, Persad-Bissessar said.

Leave this kantulal nah, apparently nobody enttled to a lawyer to run rings around the dotish Dominican LFD RFD PNM Ag
Hover... how could you blame Anand?
After the 9 men were acquitted in 2016, a malicious prosecution case against the state was filed in 2020 which by this time is a totally new case. A defense wasn't filed and therefore a default judgement was entered in 2021 in favor of the Claimants. Anand did his part by representing his clients, the state didn't do their part, but is Anand fault? You should be blaming button down shirt Johnny Seukeran aka Faris.
