ONE of the men currently detained at the Teteron Barracks, Chaguaramas, accused of murdering former special prosecutor Dana Seetahal, SC, and being involved in a gang, has challenged Director of Public Prosecutions Roger Gaspard's explanation for the delay in filing an indictment in the case.

Earl Richards' lawyers, Criston J Williams and Aaron Lewis, say it is “unacceptable and unconstitutional.”

The two attorneys wrote to Gaspard on August 7, rejecting his status report to the High Court a month earlier, saying it “provides no clarity” and “lacks reasonable justification” for the failure to advance the matter.
