If she is really 13 and underage this is a trend hat is becoming popular in many metro-US cities. They send the kids to do crime whilst the adults stand near in the background. If the (teens) are caught they go to reform school or get community service, basically a slap of the wrist for committing a serious crime

Munroe says administrator must be removed from his role

Without commenting on the merits of this particular case, I live on a family island and this practice of the island administrator acting as a magistrate really needs to be amended. The power of these persons to incarcerate is truly frightening and they do not seem to have been trained specifically as magistrates. I can understand them having the power to issue minor fines, but they should not have the power to adjudicate a case and sent someone to prison. Those cases should proceed through the traditional court system in Nassau.

My fellow Bahamian..The lack of proper judicial implementations is the reason for this debacle. This situation was always impending, whether it is Gray's fault or Newbold..THIS WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN. This SITUATION should have never happened. The Government has the power to put in place proper gateways which will facilitate our judicial system. The BIGGER issue is the LACK of proper governance by the Christie administration. I'm not going to point figures on who did what but why this occurred

Tal unquestionably Minister Gray needs to resign from cabinet as it appears he interfered in a judicial process. It is untenable to be sitting in cabinet while a police investigation in ongoing. You should agree with this. As for this case I have heard conflicting reports on both sides. One makes this young man out to be a devil, another a saint, the truth is somewhere in between. But in an effort at true justice I feel his case should have been heard by a magistrate in Nassau. In the interest of justice Minister Gray must resign until he has been exonerated, and if convicted of this serious offense he should be sentenced to at least a short period of incarceration.

Wayne Munroe is correct in terms of in 2015, the island's administrator is trying cases. This government in particular (the AG's office) should have online webcams where by Magistrates in islands such as Nassau, Freeport and Exuma available for webcam links where by cases can be heard by qualified magistrates. BUT...yall Bahamians allow PLP to run this country once again..we will never move forward as a country with these old heads (Perry Christie) as the PM.
