This speaks volumes of the level of intelligence in our country. I'm ashamed. The person who did this shouldn't have the right to vote, clearly they are not of sound mind.

Why are these Murders taking place? Is it because of the Lifestyle these people showcase? Or is it because there is a bunch of people going around and randomly executing people ?

I pray for the day when crime stop being pilitical and all our citizens can come together and collective address these issues. It is obvious that no Goverment can stop criminals from being criminals but you can make an inpact on persons who have not reached that level as yet. You can invest in the Police and the legal system to arrest, prosecute and convict persons in the most professional, methodical and deliberate fashion. Find a way for all persons charged with murder or other serious crimes to be tried before the courts and not placed on bail for thier safety and the safety of the general public. You can work towards removing our country away from the privy Council so we as country can truly exercise our soveriegn right to deal with the issue of death sentences. So many issues the last thing we need is finger pointing. What we need is action.

Over the last 10 years there have been many death sentences overturned by the privy council. The latest was that of Maxi Tido (not sure of spelling) where in the councils judgement a person who was raped, tortured, head batched, burned and rolled over with a vehicle is not deemed the worse of the worse and therefore the death penalty should not apply. If this was your daughter how would you feel. The Privy council has no intention of approving any death penalties. So we can march up and down Bay Street and make noise all we want but we are still subject to British Rules.

THIS CASE FELL APART BECAUSE THE OVER CONFIDENT PROSECUTION THOUGH THEY HAD A MURDER CONVICTION. The evidence showed no indication of premeditation, it show a person at their breaking point. If you are constantly being abuse there is a law on the books to deal with the situation, there was not one police report to support this abuse and this does not give a person the right to kill someone just because they are tired of the abuse and walk free. If this is the case WE now how a bigger problem on our hands. I truly agree she was not guilty of murder but to get out the car a stab a person under those circumstances and walk free is wrong,i will call it involuntery manslaughter or at least manslaughter.There must be laws on the books for that. This was not a self defense case. Neil Brathwaite should not have tried this as a murder case,

I DO NOT CONDONE ABUSE. Nevertheless, my grandmother, who lived to be 89 years of age, once said to me, `Child you see these dutty [sic] dirty young girls running round here, you better watch out! Let me tell you something, my son. If a woman can’t kill you, she’ll be the cause of your death.´
Without the facts of this case at hand, I can only look at what information the Tribune has released in their article and shake my head in wonderment at the deliberate display of incompetence by the prosecution, who scandalously picked such a jury. This case marks the hand writing on the wall for all our endangered species called Bahamian males. Aretha Franklin and Annie Lennox sung the song, Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves, listen to it and you will here them say, ` Sisters are doin' it for themselves, standin’ on their own two feet, and ringin’ on their own bells. Well, it seems highly unlikely to me that if the jury composition was made up of 6 men and 6 women, that at the very least the entire group would not have dropped the ball and skidded past manslaughter. Then too, this woman might have been a Sister of the Eastern Star or her parent might have been a ranking members in that secret order.
Let us not forget that every woman and man has freedom of choice to do it for themselves, but with rights come duties and what is commonly known as responsibility. And are we not told the first law of nature is self preservation? So do you believe that a forty year old American woman could not have already lived long enough to have realized that she had the choice to walk away back to Boston from whence she came? Are we not looking at someone who should have received an Oscar Academy Awards for her performance? And to think that some infidel - like a ground hog that runs out see his shadow and runs back under a rock had the nerve to say – what about Bahamian women right? Well, I say what about American women rights to kill without mercy a Bahamian man in his own country and be given the benefit of the doubt and support of 12 Bahamian sisters lead by a butch in our court? Is this not twisted? Not even manslaughter for premeditated murder? Of course she did not really mean to do it because she had already suffered abuse for so many year at his hands and never thought to flee the Bahamas, did she? I say, there is no abuse that one can sustain which warrants death. Where did the weapon come from? Did she arrive at this man’s job with that weapon and deadly intent? Was it a choke hold? Is she an expert in self defence? And after you stabbed him the sixth time you decided that you did not want to kill him for the many years of abuse suffered at his hands? Why didn’t you keep stabbing for another 26 times?
Aretha Franklin sung another song, The house that Jack Built, well all I say it that happily for most Bahamian males (an endangered species), the ghost of Jack will be your constant partner Jessie for the rest of your life… enjoy sweetie.

"I think a 12-woman jury could better understand the situation of a woman in her position with all the beatings and all the bruises, and all that happened, the abuse that took place with respect to Jessie’s husband.”
CONSISTANT with the lead lawyer's statement of betrayal above, could a reasonably prudent person not conclude that any person(s) making such a blatantly male biased utterance be subjected to emasculation without painkiller and thereafter given legitimate entrance into the female ranks of society as a leader of the charge of super sensitive females that are more understanding to supposedly bullied, bruised, beaten and abused human beings?
Had this same situation occurred in REVERSE in America she would never have walked free, and not only that, but where this had been a Bahamian woman that had killed an American man, after serving extensive time in the slammer, she would have been DEPORTED IMMEDIATELY UPON RELEASE with no further reference ever again being made to her as a Nassau Village woman, or an Atlanta, Georgia woman.
It is high time that we Bahamians get out there and protest this type of miscarriage of justice Ìn your face.´
DEPORT JESSIE NOW! JESSIE GO HOME! AND TAKE YOUR 12 (RATHER 13 +1) DISCIPLES/COHORTS WITH YOU FOR YOU ALL ARE UNWELCOMED GUEST IN MY COUNTRY FROM THIS POINT ONWARD.

Be fair now. Yes he is a pervert to entertain a young fifteen year old girl but still the question remains where was this father all this time. For that length of time you mean the mother nor the father never check to make sure where their young daughter was. There might not be no evidence to prove he had sex with her but he still encourage a young girl to come over to his residence and this girl being of non-legal age still was not supervised about her whereabouts by the parents. These parents need to be held accountable also cause no way I would not know the where abouts of my child, especially a young girl. Or is it the father was jealous of the phone lol.
