Director of Public Prosecutions Roger Gaspard, SC, has defended the independence of his office and again maintained that there were no delays in filing an indictment against Earl Richards, one of the men accused of murdering former prosecutor Dana Seetahal, SC.

Seetahal was gunned down in her car on May 4, 2014.

Gaspard, in his affidavit, dated August 15, responded to complaints by Richards and his lawyers of an “unacceptable and unconstitutional” delay in filing an indictment.
