Nigel Hughes in that case should have been brought to justice for evidence tampering, since if it was an ordinary citizen, or I, we would be sitting in jail.

Justice Navindra Singh (Tuesday) morning banned the foreman of the jury in the recently concluded Lusignan massacre trial because he did not disclose to the court that he had a lawyer-client relationship with one of the attorneys-at-law, Nigel Hughes, who had represented one of the two accused who were subsequently found not guilty.
The same Nigel Hughes who was the main cause of ‘thugs’ blocking the Agricola Public Road, where East Indians were beaten, robbed and sexually molested.
Nigel Hughes has no ethics and in the minds of many Guyanese, he is seen as a criminal himself.
In the Linden inquiry, the commissioner had to rebuke Nigel Hughes and he withdrew without an apology. He also failed to disclose his connection to the Amaila Falls fiasco.
He resigned from the AFC, pulling the hood over apparent impropriety.
Nigel Hughes failed again to disclose his connection to the jury foreman allowing two alleged murderers to walk free men.
Mr Editor, I am once again urging you to urge the PPP/C Government to scrap the ‘jury system’ in Guyana.
Let a three-judge panel decide the faith of those charged. One can only imagine the ‘intimidation’ that goes on in the jury room. Many Guyanese made it known they are very much afraid to be sitting on a jury in Guyana. There is a fear of others knowing how they vote especially on ‘guilt’. It is felt that most of these criminals that are charged and brought before the court, in many cases, they have someone employed and/or connected to the police, army, judiciary or Opposition politicians.
‘Wake up’ and ‘Shake up’ Guyana, once and for all.
