It appears that corruption in the BVI was a big business going back many years. One leader had a nickname of 10% .......... I have been following some of these characters for years. Sad that the country has so much corruption. The only hope I have is that the UK comes in to set up shop.

Lesley--not really sure St. Maarten politicians have too much to be feeling superior about.

There's a new twist in the story. Apparently a couple of jurors had a change of mind after the verdict. Story is in the Miama Herald and JTV FB today. The jurors were polled and dismissed. Not sure if there is a precedent. Next thing we know that undersea volcano north of Grenada will erupt….

Sure do remember him He spent millions on the project. mucking up the land and in the end, South Sound now has runoff . Money went to the Dominican Republic to relatives.
I find it strange that the locals laugh at this but it is their money that is being stolen.

I agree, Zanshin. To vote "guilty" in the jury room, affirm their votes to the judge in the courtoom, and then recant a few hours later is very disturbing. It calls into question the legitimacy of the process and, in this case, it smacks of a payoff. I certainly hope that the judge affirms the verdict.

OceanSong--thanks for that perspective. While I am an attorney, the vast majority of my practice is civil, and not many jury trials.
