Travolta Extortion Trial Bahamas: South Andros MP Picewell Forbes to appear before Senior Justice Anita Allen on Contempt of Court Question
Related to country: Bahamas

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Andros MP Picewell Forbes is set to appear before Senior Justice Anita Allen tomorrow morning to answer questions as to why he should not be held in contempt of court.

Last night, the judge declared a mistrial in the John Travolta attempted extortion case after she learned that Forbes had announced at the PLP convention that his former political colleague Pleasant Bridgewater had been acquitted.

The announcement was carried live on radio and television, but the jury was still behind closed doors, trying to reach a verdict when the announcement was made.

Justice Allen said she had no choice but to order a retrial saying 'justice must not only be done, but seen to be done.'

This morning, Anthony McKinney, the lawyer representing Forbes told the Tribune that Forbes had no intention of disrupting the legal proceedings and had simply relayed what turned out to be bogus news that he heard on the convention floor.
