DPP files appeal against court's decision to acquit Hon Myron V. Walwyn - Decision in favour of Ms Lorna Stevens also appealed

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.

Appeal based on three main items

According to the information obtained, the DPP appealed the decision based on: 1. The learned Magistrate exceeded her Jurisdiction in the case 2. The legal evidence substantially affecting the merits of the case was rejected by the court and 3. The decision of the magistrate is unreasonable.
