Proposed changes for judicial system to be put in place

August 12, 2024

New rules intended to move cases through the judicial system quickly will be in place by the end of September.

According to Attorney General Dale Marshall, the proposed changes to criminal procedures have been sent to stakeholders to be reviewed.

He made the announcement on the sidelines of a CARICOM IMPACS’ Crime Gun Intelligence Unit meeting.

Mr. Marshall adds due to Government’s decision to increase the number of judges on the bench, the criminal justice system has disposed of 584 cases over the last 18 months.

He says while 67 of them were for murder, dealing with such a significant number of cases must be seen as a phenomenal accomplishment.
