Lawyer reprimanded
published: Saturday | November 19, 2005

MONDAY'S HEARING did not go smoothly because the Chief Justice reprimanded Mrs. Neita-Robertson for the manner in which she had put a suggestion to the witness.

"I suggest you are not a truthful person Mr. Dutty Dog Brown," Mrs. Neita- Robertson said.

"Do not do that and you should apologise," the Chief Justice remarked.

Mrs. Neita-Robertson pointed out that she had the right to call him by his alias because the witness had admitted to her in court that it was his alias.

The Chief Justice said the manner in which it was done was to embarrass the witness. "And if you do it again I am going to impose sanctions," the Chief Justice warned.

"So be it my lord, but I am entitled to do so," she responded and emphasised that the witness had said it was his alias.

Commenting further the Chief Justice said "that type of conduct brings the Bar into disrepute".

The witness, on being shown his statement of July 1, admitted that it was inconsistent with his testimony in court as to where SSP Adams was when the firearm in the bag was handed over to him.
