    Lawyers blast media for coverage of Cuban Light Bulb Scandal

    Lawyers blast media for coverage of Cuban Light Bulb Scandal

    Wednesday, 27 February 2008

    Lawyers for Kern Spencer and Rodney Chin have blasted members of the media for their coverage of the case.

    Attorney for Kern Spencer, Patrick Atkinson, under relentless quizzing from members of the media Tuesday night, said the case was being tried in the court of public opinion.

    He claimed a witch hunt was launched against his client.

    Meanwhile, attorney for Rodney Chin, Valerie Neita-Robertson would give nothing away to members of the media despite intense questioning.

    "I will say nothing at this time, the matter is to go before the court at that time I will speak...I know the media has a job to do but I have a problem with the bias and I would adopt senior counsel's view that it is a witch hunt but in due course all will be revealed," said Mrs. Neita-Robinson.
    "Jamaica's future reflects its past, having attained only one per cent annual growth over 30 years whilst neighbours have grown at five per cent." (Article)

    Blast?!? Valerie Neita-Robertson's "interview" outside of OCID yesterday was nothing blast-like. Unless the blast came from Atkinson.

    Maybe the media does not need to chill fi real!

                    THe JLP used the controversy for political gains, and as far as they are concern, it is a foregone conclusion that the participants were all guilty. It is not just the news..being bruited by the media, the ruling party flamed the fire, which makes it even more unique.
                    They may very well be guilty, but I do believe the feeding frenzy...arguably made it less likely of finding anyone that really think those charged are in any way innocent. Is as if no one thought the matter would reach the courts.

                      I am sure his invoice is 'being prepared' as the clock ticks on this case!

                        is this lawyereeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzeeeeeeee?

                        Aren't you all not supposed to give best representation regardless of any outside biases...or positions held???

                        Did not NW Manley represent JLPites...and rumour has it never lost a case? ...or rarely lost a case? ...or some such thing...?

                        ...and would it be unfair to label NW Manley a PNP diehard?

                            When I hear fanatics like Karl and JAwge talk, I can appreciate why some say not to mix religion wid politics.

                              ...and where was I trying to take lawyering from lawyers?

                              ...and I certainly did not even try to put party before our country or suggest anyone do so!
