Families for Justice is calling for two senior attorneys from the Attorney General office in New Providence, to be fired for corrupted practices in Grand Bahama supreme courts:

• Families for Justice President, made a statement in Grand Bahama, regarding the degraded behavior of two Attorneys, who are Senior Officials of the Attorney General Office in New Providence.
• The Courts in the Bahamas, must be respected. The Bahamian Public must know, that the Judiciary is Independent, and no Officer of the Courts should be above the LAW.
• The public must know, that the Supreme Court, be seen as a place, for Justice in our Nation, and not to be disrespected, by officers of the Courts, or any member of the public . On April 03, 2014 Members of our Organization, got the shock of there life’s
• When Supreme Court Justice Estelle Gray Evans, Give a Court Order in a Civil trial, for the Plaintiff to have his civil matter Schedule for Assessment for Damages, against The Commissioner of Police, and the Attorney General. The Assessment was schedule to be done by the Assistant Deputy Registrar Eureka Charlton of the Supreme Court.
• On January 28^th 2014 the Attorney General admitted to liability for detaining the Plaintiff in Police Custody Unlawfully. The Justice of the Supreme Court in Freeport Order the Assessment for Damages On April 03, 2014 at 10:am to be Assess. During the commencement of the Assessment hearing. Senior Members of the Attorney General Office, showed up to Court with five (5) Members of the Royal Bahamas Police Force, two (2) of which were high ranking Officers of the Police force.
• The Senior Police Officers, were called by the Attorney General Office, to give Sworn testimony in a Assessment hearing for damages, after the Attorney General admitted to Liability before Justice Estelle Gray Evans in the Supreme Court in Grand Bahama.
• The Royal Bahamas Police force, detained the Plaintiff Unlawfully and Violated his Constuitonal Rights in January 2009. A civil law suit was filed against the Police Department and commence July 2010 and concluded January 28, 2014
• After the Supreme Court Ruling, Members of the Attorney General Office, proceeded to take matters in there own hands, By allowing Police witnesses who were on duty, to give oral evidence before the Assistant Deputy Registrar.
• The Assistant Deputy Registrar, informed the Attorney General Officials, that today’s proceedings is for Assessments for Damages, but was allowed to Proceed with the testimonies of the Police Witnesses. The Testimony lasted about (4) hours.
• The families for Justice Organization contact there legal team, and inquires were made. The information given by the legal team was Shocking. A Police Officer was flown in from Sal Salvador to testify, Senior Police Officials were Pulled from there duties to Testify. And the Assistant Deputy Registrar was not aware, that those witnesses were schedule before the Registrar Chambers for hearing. No application for the witnesses were before the Registrar, or the Courts to appear.
• This action by the Attorney General Office was a clear abuse of the process of the Courts. And a waste of the tax’s payers money. Our Organization is calling, for Accountability By the Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, for taking on duty Police Officer’s off there jobs, to testify in a Assessment hearing, in order for the Attorney General Office to contest the Justice of the Supreme Court Order, after the Attorney General admitted to Liability before the Courts. Those Officers of the Court from the Attorney General Office should be terminated for there part involving these Corrupted practices In the Grand Bahama Courts.

The Attorney General Officials, paid no attention to the Supreme Court Justice Order.

And publicly disrespected the Supreme Court and its rules. This action, is unacceptable

In our society, and needs to be address immediately.
