– says Defence Attorney and Jury Foreman kept acquaintance secret By Dale AndrewsSome three years after they were freed by a jury, the Court of Appeal has allowed the appeal of the DirectorDPP Shalimar Ali-Hackof Public Prosecutions (DPP) and ordered a retrial of two Buxton residents for their alleged role in the massacre of 11 persons at Lusignan.The two men, James Anthony Hyles, known as ‘Sally’ and Mark Royden Williams, called ‘Smallie’, were freed in August 2013, five years after they were charged for the gruesome killings that sent shockwaves throughout Guyana.The High Court trial was heard before Justice Navindra Singh.Immediately after their acquittal, the DPP, through Prosecutor Judith Gildharie-Mursalin, served a notice of appeal, using the avenue provided by the Court of Appeal Amendment Act 2008, which gives the DPP the right to appeal High Court decisions.At the appeal, the state was represented by DPP Shalimar Ali-Hack, while Nigel Hughes represented number two accused James Anthony Hyles and Roger Yearwood appeared for Mark Royden Williams.The Court of Appeal comprising Acting Chancellor Justice Carl Singh, Acting Chief Justice Yonette Cummings-Edwards and Justice BS Roy found that there were several irregularities at the trial and the cumulative effect rendered the not guilty verdict unsafe and unsatisfactory.The court gave seven reasons for its decision.NON- DISCLOSUREOne of the main grounds was the non-disclosure to the judge by the Foreman of the jury and Attorney forAttorney Nigel Hughesthe Number 2 accused James Anthony Hyles, Nigel Hughes, that the Foreman was a client of Counsel.The Court of Appeal learnt that the Jury Foreman and Counsel Hughes were known to each other prior to the trial.Hughes had appeared for the Foreman in a case spanning five years and neither of them disclosed this to the trial judge during the trial.The Appeal Court found that the Foreman had an ethical and legal duty to disclose his relationship with Hughes, and by not doing so, the neutral role of the juror was compromised.The court also found that Hughes too had an ethical duty to make this disclosure without affecting the lawyer-client relationship.Chancellor Carl Singh in expressing his thoughts on this point said it was a serious error of judgement on Hughes’ part when he failed to disclose that he knew the jury foreman.TRIAL JUDGE ERRED IN LAWThe Court of Appeal also ruled on the questioning of the jury by the defence before they were sworn. Justice Yonette Cummings-Edwards in her decision noted that there is no common or statutory provision for this to be done.It was found that the trial judge erred in law by allowing this to be done at the trial. Justice Cummings-Edwards explained that the process of jury selection is based on the principle of random selection and questioning of the jurors is an interference of this principle.She said that no foundation was shown by the defence for this to be done.Murder accused Mark Williams (left) and James Anthony HylesOn the same point, Acting Chancellor Singh stated that this was clearly wrong, adding that it was inappropriate and contrary to the random selection process.Another ruling of the Court of Appeal was on the exclusion of photographs during the trial.The court ruled that 76 photographs ought not to have been excluded by the judge.The court of appeal also agreed with the DPP that the jury was not adequately directed by the judge on the issue of joint enterprise.And in another important consideration, the Court of Appeal found that Justice Navindra Singh did not hold an inquiry when it was brought to his attention by the Prosecution that a juror was seen showing the thumbs-up sign to the father of the Number 2 accused.The court ruled that it was the duty of the judge to inquire into and determine what the juror’s action meant.According to the Court of Appeal, once a complaint was made, it was the paramount duty of the judge to hold an inquiry.On the question of caution statement tendered at the trial, the Appeal Court learnt that the trial judge directed the jury that they can determine whether it was made freely and voluntarily. It therefore ruled that the issue of voluntariness was not for the jury.Taking all of this into consideration, the Court of Appeal ruled that the DPP arguments were valid and ordered that the two men face a new trial.FIRST TIMEThis is the first time that the Court of Appeal has overturned an acquittal that was appealed by the DPP under the Court of Appeal Amendment Act 2008.One of the accused, James Anthony Hyles, is presently on a total of $1.1M bail which was granted by Justice Singh, pending the outcome of the appeal.A condition of the bail was that he report to the Vigilance Police Station every Monday morning until the appeal is completed. However a police source indicated that this part of the bargain was not fulfilled. He was however rearrested yesterday and taken back to the Camp Street prison to await retrial.The other accused, Mark Royden Williams, is presently still in prison since he has other pending matters.On the morning of Saturday, January 26, 2008, gunmen stormed into the village of Lusignan, East Coast Demerara, and murdered eleven people, including five children. Five families were affected by the killings.Police believed that the gunmen, who were armed with shotguns and AK-47s, entered the village around 2:00 am, and invaded the homes of five families. Within about 20 minutes eleven people were murdered.The victims were Clarence Thomas, 48,Wholesale China Jerseys, Vanessa Thomas, 12, Ron Thomas, 11, Mohandan Goordat, 32, Seegopaul Harilall, 10; Seegobin Harilall, 4; Dhanwajie Ramsingh, 52; Seecharran Rooplall, 56; Raywattie Ramsingh, 11; Shazam Mohammed, 22; and Shaleem Baksh, 52.The mastermind of the massacre was believed to be Rondell “Fine Man” Rawlins, who was subsequently tracked down and killed by members of the Joint Services.作者: 567ihzay 時間: 2017-8-26 08:06 標題: Juventus Dres Dámské moncleroutletonline3413

This stranger, whoever he may be, has found his way to my house from somewhere or other either East or West. He wants an escort and wishes to have the matter settled. Let us then get one ready for him, as we have done for others Billige England Landslagsdrakt before Jalkapalloklubi Paris Saint-Germain Pelipaidat him; indeed, no one who ever yet came to my house has been able to complain of me for not speeding on his way soon enough. Let us draw a ship into the sea — one that has never yet Billige Chile Drakt Barn made a voyage — and man her with two and fifty of our smartest young sailors. Then when you have made fast your oars each by his own seat, leave the ship and come to my house to prepare a feast. I will find you in everything. I am giving will these instructions to the young men who will form the crew, for as regards you aldermen and town councillors, you will join me in entertaining our guest in the cloisters. I can take Billiga Canada Goose Tremblant Jackor no excuses, and we will have Demodocus to sing to us; for there is Billiga Canada Goose Lodge Down Hoody Jackor no bard like him whatever he may choose to sing about.”
Alcinous then led the way, and the others followed after, while a servant went to fetch Demodocus.

They moored the vessel a little way out from land, and then came on shore and went to the house of King Alcinous. The outhouses, yards, and all the precincts were filled with crowds of men in great multitudes both old and young; and Alcinous killed them a dozen sheep, eight full grown pigs, and two oxen. These they skinned and dressed so as to provide a magnificent banquet.
A servant presently led in the famous bard Demodocus, whom the muse had Maillot FC Nantes Pas Cher dearly loved, but to whom she had given both good and Maillot Rangers Pas Cher evil, for though she had endowed him with a divine gift of song, she had robbed him of his eyesight. Pont

Along the darkening mountain-paths the two gentlemen (for such Billiga Ralph Lauren Hattar their outward bearing proclaimed them) caracoled together. The one, seemingly the younger of the twain, wore a flaunting feather in his barret-cap, and managed a prancing Andalusian palfrey that bounded and curveted gayly. A surcoat of peach-colored samite and a purfled doublet of vair bespoke him noble, as did his brilliant eye, his exquisitely chiselled nose, and his curling chestnut ringlets.
Youth was on his brow; his eyes were dark and dewy, like spring-violets; and spring-roses bloomed upon his cheek — roses, alas! that bloom and die with life’s spring!

‘Your what d’ye call him? What’s the right name for a cousin-inlaw’s brother?’
‘Mr. Henry Lennox?’ asked Margaret.
‘Yes,’ replied Mr. Bell. ‘You knew him formerly, didn’t you? What sort of a person is he, Margaret?’
‘I liked him long ago,’ said Margaret, glancing down for a moment.

‘I don’t know.

‘From Milton. Don’t you see I’m smoke-dried?’

‘I suppose they’re well. I’ve been staying at their house till I was driven out of
