Trinidad Senior Counsel Dana Seetahal says the effect of the ruling by Chief Justice Ian Chang quashing the advice of the DPP to charge Police Commissioner Henry Greene with rape is that any accused person in Guyana can now go to court and seek a stay of a criminal charge.
In the Diaspora Column in today’s edition of the Stabroek News Seetahal said of Justice Chang’s decision: “The way is now clear for any accused person in Guyana to go to court seeking a stay of any criminal charge. One wonders what the CCJ (Caribbean Court of Justice) will say to this – if they get the chance.”
Justice Chang’s decision has been widely criticized
