ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- While many residents and legal observers had thought the Commissioner of Inquiry (CoI) witch-hunt and target list of persons had ended for at least two persons, the abuse of the legal system continues.

It was yesterday January 23, 2025, that the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Mrs Tiffany R. Scatliffe-Esprit appealed the Senior Magistrate’s decision of ‘No Case To Answer’ for both Hon Myron V. Walwyn (R6) and Assistant Secretary Lorna Stevens in the Elmore Stoutt High School Wall case.

It was on January 21, 2025, that senior Magistrate Tamia N. Richards ruled that both Walwyn and Stevens had ‘No Case To Answer’ over the Breach of Trust Case in the high school Wall drama brought against them in 2022.
