Neesa Gopaul case: CCJ judges cast doubt on testimony used to convict Jarvis Small

Director of Public Prosecutions Shalimar Ali-Hack found herself in the hot seat on Tuesday before judges of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) whom she tried to dissuade from their apparent view that the evidence used to convict Jarvis Small for the murder of former Queen’s College student—Neesa Gopaul—was “prejudicial” at best.

Against this background, President of the court, Justice Adrian Saunders during the heated exchange between Ali-Hack and the Bench, expressed the view that the case was a perfect one where Small should have been tried separately from his co-convict Bibi Sharima-Gopaul.
