When Dale Moore was murdering with impunity BAsil was his Bossom Buddy all along.

An interesting position from the head of state who is sworn to uphold the constitution. Who seeks criminal defense laywers, the pope, the priests??

If Mr Hughs was involved in any illegal activity regarding the Buxtonians, then why did the Govt not act within the laws on this. As you know, I have zero tolerance for any Buxton criminals and I think they got what was coming to them however, they do have a right to legal representation. And look who's talking, the man who just admitted the agents of Fr Dark's murder.

I can see where you are coming from Sir, but the murderous rampage which the Buxton gunmen embarked upon negated any recourse to legal representation. And in such a scenario I hold the view that their deaths/executions were but a small measure of justice that could be accorded to the victims of their morbid crimes which included rape and burning an elderly man to death.
I was disappointed that those who supported them did not meet the same end. I see all of them as the same.

Desperation!!!

Nigel Hughes is a man of impeccable integrity unlike any in the PPP

The attorney General in the PPP government and the man who will jail all those who have sanctioned the killings of hundreds of Guyanese, the drug dealings, the pillaging of the State coffers, the consolidated funds and so much more!

I can see where you are coming from Sir, but the murderous rampage which the Buxton gunmen embarked upon negated any recourse to legal representation. And in such a scenario I hold the view that their deaths/executions were but a small measure of justice that could be accorded to the victims of their morbid crimes which included rape and burning an elderly man to death.
I was disappointed that those who supported them did not meet the same end. I see all of them as the same.

Is that the reason why the PPP sanctioned the deaths of Hundreds of Guyanese? Because you people think you are accuser, prosecutor, judge, jury and executioner?

Let me school you. In a democracy even the worst criminal is worthy of a trial and worthy of legal representation.

Case in point. A school boy was murdered and mutilated in New York a few months ago and he confessed to the killing and yet still he is being represented by two attorneys who do not deny that he did the killings but they are still represented him and is putting forward an insanity defense to proved that he was not sane when he did the killing? I know if this was Guyana under the PPP government, he would have been executed by the POLICE under PPP instructions.

You are scared for your own fate when the PPP lose the election for all the wrong and evil things you did to people like knocking down a pregnant woman outside the east lapenitence clinic and of course soliciting sex from under age Julius when you were recorded crying on the tape and throwing a concrete block on Mark Benschop pick up truck and the many other encounters with under-age boys!

The Rampage of the Buxtonians got it's appropriate response. I was commenting on politicizing their constitutional right to a defense. I lost relatives in this so you can rest assure, I have no sympathy for them and what they got. However, do not blame their defense unless the defense did something outside their mandate. In such case, there is an appropriate avenue for recourse and it's not the political campaign trail.

Because you were a crooked cop in Guyana. Not everyone is like you! Nigel Hughes have no reason to be a crook and Nigel Hughes have nothing to gain from drug dealers.

Nigel Hughes have two things that you don't have.

1. Integrity
2. Independence (let me break this down for you. He IS HIS OWN MAN)

The drug lord that lives in Maryland, USA that was a former police and writes on GNI as SuperMike. I am sure if you retain him as a lawyer he would represent you. Did you miss the part where he left open the option of representing Jagdeo in court when he leaves office and will need a lawyer after the AFC wins?

Nigel has what everyone in the PPP is lacking

Integrity and Character and he is more qualified than every one of them

Mrs. Varshnie Jagdeo is one of his former clients. What say you about this, SM?

Notwithstanding the great virtues of Mr Hughes, I have never yet encountered an attorney with flawless integrity and character. The career does not lend itself to it although it claims to require it. Even judges rule on law not integrity. It is a career I deliberately kept away from despite a small stint of court prosecuting. The man might be a good lawyer but a bad politician. That field slave thing is worrying.
