Dear Attorney General Levi Peter,

Good day.

We left off from the first letter talking about the basics of Scripture and the Constitution and how you are responsible for the actions of your chambers. The actions of your chambers, especially the DPP, have been shameful. Shameful disregard for both God’s Word and the Constitution by allowing children to be arrested and jailed. My wife and two oldest daughters spent seven days in the Grand Bay jail, while my two youngest children were held away from my parents, their grandparents, in a children’s home. This is a clear violation of the Constitution and U.N. human rights. Let the people of Dominica, the Caribbean and the States know that the Government of Dominica wishes to disregard God’s Word and the Constitution. It is sad and disgraceful that as we just celebrated the countries 45th year of independence that the current political class has trashed the constitution and fundamental human rights for political reasons causing gross overreactions. Making the sin of this government that of blasphemy, written large, in the actions of many of politician and appointed government officials.

A perfect example of this is the rotten justice system, one that even the High Court Judge recently called out. My wife and I went to court on the 7th of November for the start of what should have been my trail on the customs charges but were disappointed, yet again, by the lack of honor and respect for the court system. The court had ordered that the DPP’s office turn over the documents to my lawyer by the 9th of October. That never happened, the DPP’s office decided not to deliver any documentation to my lawyer as ordered by the court. Then on the day we are to start the trail, my lawyer received a letter that was sent to the Magistrate asking for a delay, claiming we were in the middle of talks. This is not true, in fact it’s a bold lie, nor did the letter mention the failure on the DPP’s part to provide the court ordered documents, as the reason they decided not to show up in court. So, after six months we see again the deep level of rot that has crept into the justice system. As we sat in court for several hours, watching a justice system that has no standard, I saw that there is a desire from the Magistrates to have a standard but they are ignored and disrespected by others in the judicial system. The DPP’s office is abusing the judicial system as well as my family and this again is your responsibility to correct. You are the man or you should be the man in authority.

Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity, and the rod of his fury will fail. Proverbs 22:8

As a Christian it is important for us to understand that every system has a god, which means that when you have identified certain markers, you have identified the god of the system. If the god of the system is not the true God, the God who made Heaven and earth, then the god of the system is an idol. If the god of the system is the final court, then there is no appeal beyond that court. Once you get to his court, and the decision has been made, the matter is settled. If you continue to resist after that point, then you are a disruptive rebel, and an enemy of mankind. You are out of the appeals process, and into the justice system. It seems that many politicians think the Constitution is a living document, which is elastic and stretchy, but only when it is being stretched it their direction. That god of the system requires that the words be interpreted according to the wishes of the politicians. This makes the god of the system the fountainhead of morality; which Christians should have an easy distinction in their minds between “legal” and “moral.” But for those who believe that there is no intelligence beyond our corporate and collective intelligence, there can ultimately be no such distinction. Right? Christians worship the God who is outside the systems — He is transcendent — and that is why we can distinguish sins and crimes. Jailing children is both a sin and a crime.

During this time of the year when my family should have been celebrating Thanksgiving and should be gathering with friends and family during Christmas, your chambers has kept us under the threat of the judicial system. I will continue to fight the corruption that allowed the illegal detention of my children, I will seek to spread the events of what happened far and wide. I have started to reach out to international media and will continue to do so. I have been patient and gave the judicial system a chance but that time is coming to an end. I encourage you to do your job and those in your office to see that justice is done, before this becomes an international story of the incompetence of the government. I think we have had enough of those as of late. You have the ability to make right the wrong. Work to regain the title of honorable in the hearts and minds of those you serve. Let us work together to defuse the coming tide of even more bad publicity. My lawyers wait proper communication from the DPP and Customs.

Isaiah 5

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,

who put darkness for light and light for darkness,

who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine,

and valiant men in mixing drink,

who acquit the guilty for a bride,

and deprive the innocent of his right!

Until my next letter,
