A suspected Jamaican sex-offender charged five times but never convicted for allegedly raping vulnerable women has been banned from Britain for a decade in a controversial new police tactic to target foreign criminals.
And Mr Farquharson’s solicitor Howard Cheng said: “It is a concern that the once famed idiom of ‘innocent until proven guilty’ no longer seems to apply, when the Home Office, with the assistance of the Police through Operation Nexus, are able to refuse an applicant’s request for leave to remain in the UK on the basis of unproven criminal allegations.
I would really like to hear from our learn legal luminaries here in Jamaica, who often hold up the UK, as the model for legal cases and rights of suspects. We have some very bright lawyers in Jamaica and I would love to hear their take on the above case, in particular the presumption of innocence.

We are not serious about fighting crime here in Jamaica – the Commissioner of Police made some proposals the other day and all the hypocrites jump down his throat about the rights of criminals. Serious countries take serious actions, we call talk shows and run up our mouths.
The US has Gitmo, we give bail.
Mine the lawyers come after you.
