    Lovely production. I love how Antigua.news followed this story from beginning to end. I must send my heart to the family. It brought tears to my eyes as I saw the mother wiping the father’s tears. One full year of complete round and round and finally a little light has been shed on Justice. See you in high court Angela.

    The riot it would’ve been in this country if that case was thrown out. Mr. Wendell wouldn’t even have an office to go to tomorrow. All court house would’ve been down to the ground right now. JUSTICE ARWE SAY
