The crown found the will and impetus to pursue Adidjaheim Palmer with vim and vigour to the ends of the earth... yet, I somehow suspect it lacks the same zest and conviction it did in this Khajeel Mais case. One also has to ponder if the 'Crown' represents justice and the will of the Jamaican conscience and unbiased objective legal acumen of our collective intellect! The crown's stamina in the never ending battle for truth and justice, to me has been called into question since it lacked the cojones to pursue the JLP MP named in the Miami Herald.
I seriously doubt that we will have a happy Law and Order UK ending in this Khajeel Mais case... No the DPP and the crown will not cleverly unearth evidence of corruption and bribery in this case... I suppose the primacy of law shall prevail, rule of law as they say... The rule of law upheld slavery then, and it still does under the 13th Amendment of the American constitution... In my time in law school one thing I have learned well is that lawyers believe in the law...
They believe either authority comes from vested and recognized bodies of men or some may think God, but they both neglect the Marxist and legal realist view that law is the will of the ruling class, lawyers will forever believe in the rule of law and words to regulate man's behavior... Like letting man abide in slavery... Like legally forcing one to be a slave... But I don't believe in the rule of law... But an international morality... Not law but morals... And His Imperial Majesty did say if the dream of world citizenship and international morality remains a dream or fleeting illusion then everywhere it shall be war.
What is it when we see this crime but an unstated civil war. The war that cost us Mario Deane, a war and blind justice that will sacrifice and sentence the deaf and mute Damion Cargill, a war that has cost us Khajeel Mais... Mi nuh care who waan talk pretty if Jamaica nuh mek the moral decision then WAR! It shall come to the house of Parliament, to King's House, to King's street, to Kingston, to Belmont Road, to your houses to your doorsteps...
Are we going to watch as wealth buys justice? Are we going to watch the main witness lie and shrink in cowardice and say nothing?
Will we watch as a judge uses law to bludgeon a victim's family into subjugated silence?
Will we watch the police murder the witness should he ever grow the balls to speak the truth?
Will we watch as sloppy police procedure botch another case in Jamaica in front of us?
Does #blacklivesmatter only sometimes in Jamaica?
Are we going to continue to wish for the police to use brute force and intimidation instead of forensics and proper investigation?
