Guy Who Ruined Travolta Trial -- My Bad!

1. "I hereby unequivocally and without qualifications offer my apology to Madame Senior Justice Anita Allen, in particular and to the entire judiciary of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. I further offer my unqualified apology to the Bahamian people"

Like I said before the PLP looks out for their own and removes people that are in opposition to their party. He's not apologizing to the Travoltas because it was intentional.

BALLS

4. always go to the bahamas for a vacation every other year.
due this winter.
won't make a dent, but me and my girlfriend are going to florida instead, cause we talked my cousin and her husband into getting that 3 month beach rental there ... instead of montego bay. YUP!!
as an attorney, what he did was wrong, and i feel in my heart it was intentional. also feel he should be jailed. but mistrial should not have been declared since jury was still in deliberation and could have been kept in seclusion away from the news of his statement.

5. How dis-respectful. My vacation monies will certainly be spent elsewhere-

9. I can’t believe all of the mean things most of you are saying about people who have always been your friends and have had your back through history. How can you talk this way about a people who has bowed and scraped to you for longer than I can remember? But you know what? Say whatever you want about us but our children can actually still play outside and we don't lose a child to rape and murder, every few minutes. We don't shoot and kill our entire families, or walk into the classroom and take-out every-one there. Our children actually respect their parents and honor them. Our kids don't go to school to fight and kill each other; we do not blow up buildings with or without innocent people in them. We respect our elders; we don't beat them down and leave them in the streets to die. We don't walk into hospitals and steal babies, we don't worship people we see on television and pass out if they touch our hands, and we don't kidnap people. We don't....should I go on?

In the past years, the Bahamas has spent over a billion dollars in the United States. The US is our number one trading partner. Note that I said 'trading,' meaning the buying and selling go both ways. You talk bad about us, yet you take the sand from our shores to build back up your beaches. You talk bad about us, yet you use our salt to cover your ice laden streets. You talk bad about us, but sometime back, we were good enough to help your own 'weak' dollar gain back its strength and the way it has been going lately – you might have to do that again. Our little third world nation sent a large amount of dollars to Katrina's victims, when some of the other nations haven’t given you a dime. Our government, under the same party that Picewell Forbes is a member of, has fought vigilantly alongside you to stop the incidences of drug-tracking between countries. The US practically owns The Bahamas. You own all the hotels, and a large part of other industries, and now, you ungrateful imbeciles sit back in your comfortable chairs, hiding behind your computer and get nasty - talking all smack about The Bahamas and its citizens? How soon do we forget?

Bahamians, unlike many of the other nations, have bowed and scraped to the US from I can remember. If you are furious about the outcome of the Travolta case, attack the rule of law under which the decision was made. Attack the archaic rules of law the Bahamas still adhere to. However, you have NO RIGHT to personally attack Bahamians. Mr. Forbes didn't determine whether Ms. Bridgewater and Mr. Lightbourne were guilty or innocent. Mr. Forbes was happy that he had heard she had won the case, just as you all would be in a similar situation. If what I have heard is true, then it looks as if the matter had already been decided and that Ms. Bridgewater was free (meaning that she was found innocent). The case hinged upon "intent.” Intent had to be proven. The intent was not proven. That is not to say that I don't believe she is guilty. I have no idea whether she is or not. I do not personally know her but I do personally know Mr. Forbes.
Here is something else you must be aware of. The fact that the judge called a mistrial should actually be good news because it now means that Ms. Bridgewater still has an opportunity to be proven guilty. If Mr. Forbes hadn't made that statement - she would have been free and the case over with. Now that the case has to be retried, she is not out of the woods. You numb nuts don't have the sense to figure that out.

Ingrates!!!

10. I do hope this affects travel and tourism in the Bahama's. Furthermore this just proves that this is the kind of government/leadership you get when black folks are in charge....corruption that is off the charts. In hindsight allowing black people to learn how to read and vote were not good ideas because this is what you get. I will be keeping my fingers crossed that a large hurricane strikes the Bahamas followed by countless tsunamis' that carry off every Bahamian citizen never to be seen again. This great country, the United States, should invade that craphole called the Bahamas and enslave all the citizens, just like the good ole' days!!!!!!

11. I can't believe how many people believe that the Bahamas is surviving only because of the tourist dollar! It is ONLY GOD who is keeping the Bahamas. For a small country our dollar is 1=1 and we just hosted the Miss Universe Pageant. Some years ago a cruise ship came here with certain individuals on it and they said we would not survive because they would not spend anymore money here. People, HELLO, it is ONLY GOD who is keeping the Bahamas.So you can say all you like "I would not spend my money here", but God is here.We are the most friendly people on earth and we love the Travoltas and GOD loves them too. HOLLA THAT!!
