Senior Counsel Ralph Ramkarran says the criminal justice system and the appeal system are in a state of collapse.
In his column in the last Sunday Stabroek, Ramkarran did not assign blame for this but it was clear that he was referring to the PPP/C government’s failure to reconvene the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to enable the appointment of more judges.
Adverting to a seminar om June 24th where a Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) judge made a presentation on `Rethinking Criminal Justice’, Ramkarran delivered a scathing assessment of the present system here.
