And while the UDP had all kinds of criticisms for the COMPOL, today when we asked him about OJ Elrington he said his former law school bestie needs to put it on pause. Well, actually, he didn't say it that nicely.
He discussed the latest in the Alicia Trapp case - including the fact that where she was previously detailed to Cabinet meetings, she won't be going there again any time soon - but, the good news is, she also won't face charges:
Chester Williams, Commissioner
"Certainly at her prior post that she had. She, was the officer that was assigned to work at Cabinet meetings. I don't think she expects that she will still be working Cabinet meetings after all that had occurred, so if it is that the officer commander of Belmopan police station made some adjustments to have someone else working at Cabinet meetings as opposed to her then certainly I have no objections for that. I don't know why her attorney continues to make an issue. The more he speaks, seemingly on her behalf, the more he sinks her into a hole. I believe it's time for her attorney to shut the hell up and allow the process to occur. Let me say that in my letter to the attorney yesterday I simply outlined the law to him and pointed out to him as well that the evidence is not there against Mr. Espat but on the contrary a lot of evidence is there against her committing assault upon the Hon. Julius Espat. Fortunately for her Mr. Espat informed me this morning that he doesn't wish to proceed with court action against her at this time and so based on that she will not be charged criminally as outlined in the letter to her attorney yesterday. I think what Mr. Espat is hoping for is that her and her attorney to retract their statement and based on that then he will determine if he will proceed with the matter before the court."
