Turks & Caicos - I read with interest the Government’s Press Release regarding the court’s decision in the Joe Grant’s case entitled “TCIG successful in recovering Joe Grant land: first judgment in major civil recovery case.”

Neither Michael Misick nor myself are defendants in those proceedings. No one gave evidence and the only party represented was the Government.   Dr. Kinay could not afford to be represented because he was prevented by a previous Court Order from spending money on legal representation to defend himself. His lawyers had to come off the record.

The publication of the finding that the payment of US$500,000.00 was bribery can only be regarded as a deliberate attempt by the Government to poison the well of potential jurors so that the SIPT can be in a position to object to trial by jury.   The strategy is clear.   Today it may be Mike or me.   Tomorrow it can be any citizen of this country. You have been warned.
