EDITOR, The Tribune.

What I try to do nightly is to find the time to watch the Bahamas’ evening news, because you know, just so much going on in the country, rather on New Providence Island.

The update by the Chief Justice Hon Ian Winder, was all right until he mentioned the part about the watered down version of the legal authority of the police charging criminals?

It haunted me all the way to disrupting my sleep cycle and rolling over in bed, I decided to pose that question to Father God;

The Oxford School Dictionary’s definition of the word Charge - an accusation that someone has committed a crime of which he or she is facing,for whatever might the offence(s) be.

And here is Father God’s take: The police charge in a criminal case means everything for it is a compilation of events, a detailed chronological step by step legal and binding accounting of moments leading up to the unlawful killing of a citizen(s), so reflected.

These facts have helped to lay the cornerstones, if you will, and if you doubting the seriousness of a Charge designation on all of that mound of context, this background to an event that helps to explain it - tell the chief justice then, to let the police have not indicated (the charge)? All of them seated in the courtroom setting, would have gathered up their bundle of documents and begun to head for the door, said God Most High has spoken. Lord your words are forever settled in the Heavens, hallelujah, amen.

Now, continuing: A charge said God is the key to opening the door, without which the door stays closed.

“To the chief justice and all of the others:

Why were you all fighting so hard to defend the Trouble makers, the Offenders of the Law? Who had no Mercy shown to their victim(s)?

Do you not know, or have you not heard that whatsoever you do to the least of these thy brethren, ye have done it unto me? And if you fail to keep murderers (even though accused), behind bars and you release them to Kill Again, said God Most High, the blood of those they killed, or themselves, will be on your hands and all of those tasked with Law reformation enforcement (referring to politicians, the lawgivers, said Jehovah)”

Get on with the business of justice and its administration, before I decide to visit you all and you won’t like it (a life, for a life, is the only way out, said God).”

Lord, for behold your words are forever settled in the Heavens, hallelujah, amen.
