Defence Minister Wayne Sturge says efforts to speed up the justice system should not come at the expense of justice for victims of crime.
Speaking at the conclusion of a workshop on virtual hearings yesterday at the Justice Ministry’s Government Plaza, Port-of-Spain office, Sturge said as a defence attorney, he often reflected on cases in which justice was denied.
While he could not speak publicly on the matter before entering politics, he said he could now do so.
