DARBOE'S STRATEGY IS NOT ONLY DEAD WRONG
... BUT DANGEROUS FOR HIS CLIENT [Innocent Femi Peters]
By Oceanic Lad, New York
I am really perplexed with the laughable counteraction by this so called Democrat to my claims on Darboe’s strategy on the Femi Peters trial. I have pondered over it enough. I tend to relax but anytime I browse the Freedom newspaper I see dozens more reading it; so I think the issue is of interest to many; [I love debates which I have been doing since Primary 3 Correa at Kaur Primary School]. This is because this democrat is a real nuisance in law that’s why he keeps on questioning my legal knowledge. For once, I would make certain things clear to this human being who I believe is just one of those Darboemaniacs like bolongba; trying to glorify Darboe as a demigod in Gambian politics; without whose leadership no coalition should and would be possible.
Hence, the continuous irrelevance of the Gambian opposition parties.
I did not say, Mr. Democrat, the political parties are registered in courts; I wrote it to ridicule your thoughts hence LOL [which in New York we refer to as laugh out loud] in poking fun.
I have not said I worked in the magistrates courts in the Gambia , I have never; I am currently working in state courts in New York . I work in Central booking in New York as a legal Assistance where I do pretrial motions. I research on the background of suspects, interview them in jail and write a comprehensive report to the judge which he use to determine whether the suspect should pay bond, be released on his own recognizance, whether the charges imposed should be elevated or diminished etc.
For the last time, this is what I do; What do you do Mr. Democrat? It’s unfortunate that, the Democrat cannot remember or have not been aware of the series recently on the Sedia and Halifa trial by foroyaa;[I think he should consult foroyaa or the PDOIS expert on Gambia post to furnish him with how to access the material];then, you would be sure whether I am “lying or not about that case”. I did not also refer to Baba Jobe’s money business but the Youth Development Enterprise; which was principally dealing in APRC rice; this was what was principally at trial. Who is the ‘clown’ then Mr. Democrat?
Now, to the crux of the issue, my learned friend; The Baldus study I stated was introduced by the counsel for the accused because he was challenging the constitutionality of the ultimate [death] punishment for his client; who is black and according to the well respected study that blacks are likely to be given death penalty than whites. The criminal case ended when he was convicted to death by the jury for killing the police officers; The appeal went to SCOTUS to determine whether the punishment infringes the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution. You must pay me to teach you constitutional Law, mr.Democrat.
So, sorry that you brought up the soloman case which my professor fondly calls solaman square. I can tell you I read this case in my comparative criminal law class so much that I can recite it verbatim. I did not bring it up because I know the case didn’t measure well with the argument I am expounding on but the Baldus case was aptly correlated.
Thanks to you the case is a plus to my argument. Please read this summary of the case: SOLOMAN WAS A MAN WHO HAD A `SHOE` BUSINESS. He saw the rising profits of his business...and ..decided to start a company. he had 30000pounds with him , of which he took 10000shares and approximately 10000debentures. his company suddenly went into liquidation[loss] he had 17000 to be paid to his creditors..but soloman had only 6000 with him, he took the money for himself..
The creditors went to the court and lodged a complaint. THE COURT SAID THAT SOLOMAN DESERVES THE MONEY CAUSE HE IS A SQUARED CREDITOR as per his debenture .The question now is Why was soloman allowed to keep the money? The way the company shouldered the responsibility of its own, The UDP could have also done as Foroyaa did. This is law and Darboe’s strategy of comparing and contrasting is wrong in law; I believe William Blake would tell you ,you are “the fool” in this case.
Mr.Democrat,Parties and institutions guard their interests paramountly. Are you aware of “Operation Paper clip”. This was a project introduced by American President Harry Truman after the Second World War to acquire the German Scientists who worked hardly as to about to make the German’s victorious. This German Nazis were so intelligent that they cut the eye of the Americans. President Truman made specific directives as to exclude anyone who participated in the Nazi campaign. Having realized that that would be almost all the best; the task force made their own criteria by admitting the best and the brightest.
By1955 almost 760 Nazi scientists became American citizens and they occupied center stage in American progress and prosperity to this day. As my professor always do, I just threw this in to show you how firmly people struggle to pursue their interests; this should be the Quest of any lawyer especially a defense lawyer; to employ any means necessary to win your case.
Darboe should be committed and shelve this comparative strategy. Mr. Democrat without the UDP would Femi peters apply for the permit to hold the meeting?
Does only Femi peters constitute the UDP; quoting their leader at the rally on the increasingly irrelevant senegambiaNews;”Gambians should sacrifice as the South Africans did and from henceforth the UDP would organize rallies with or without permits”. Why then is Femi peters the only person in the dock for an alleged offense committed by the UDP.This is why I said the counsel for femi peters should play the clips at the meeting and establish that the UDP and not Femi peters is culpable.
As Macbeth never imagined how Birnam wood can move to his castle at Dunsinane hill, ultimately leading to his demise; so doesn’t Lawyer Darboe know the tragedy that awaits the UDP if he maintains the same strategy, which indeed is wrong in law.
I don’t see any eloquence you clamor about in any of your write ups.You copy and paste my write ups and make one confusing line of comment on it; that shows more of your illiteracy in law. I am a keen reader and read every website on Gambia every day time and time again; so nothing escapes me from my Country’s issues, except if it is not online. As a great praise singer of Lawyer Darboe, I urge you to convey to him my argument and the insistence that if he do not change his strategy; we would live to regret it. Those strategies were meant to free Sheriff Dibba in the 1980s but in this 21st century of the Jammeh jamahariyarism; it won’t work. It has not worked for Mbarodi and it cannot work for Femi Peters. The time is now and the struggle continues.
