(Barbados Nation) The attorneys representing Barbados in the Shanique Myrie lawsuit are ready to fight the country’s cause when the case begins in Jamaica tomorrow, confident in their defence and the testimony that will be offered by their witnesses during the month-long trial.
That was the word from Roger Forde, QC, who is leading the island’s legal team, shortly after he arrived in Kingston yesterday afternoon ahead of the March 4 to 8 Jamaica leg of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) hearings.
“I have faith in the evidence as put by our witnesses and I fully believe in what our witnesses have told us – the immigration and customs officers and police,” he told the SUNDAY SUN in a brief telephone interview.
He explained that there would be “very little law” discussed during the first stages, as each side puts its witnesses on the stand to support their cases.
