The prosecution is moving to appeal the decision by Senior Magistrate Leron Daly against summarily handling the misconduct charges laid against Deputy Chief Election Officer (DCEO) Roxanne Myers.
Senior Magistrate Leron Daly had previously ordered that a Preliminary Inquiry be conducted to determine whether there is enough evidence for Myers to stand trial at the High Court. Magistrate Daly had ruled that the two counts of misconduct in public office laid against Deputy Chief Election Officer (DCEO) Myers would remain indictable after upholding a submission made by Myers’ attorney, Nigel Hughes. As a result, a PI is to be conducted to determine whether there is enough evidence for Myers to go to trial and if there is she would be subjected to a High Court trial where jurors would decide on her fate.
