Emmanuel, a war veteran who served with the British Royal Air Force during World War II earned a reputation for the stern sentences which he gave during his tenure as a magistrate in Dominica in the 1980s. Emmanuel’s home at St. Aroment in Goodwill was firebombed during the Christmas Season of 2010 - while he slept. Pledges were made by former Police Chief Cyril Carrette and his successor, Daniel Carbon, to fully investigate this disturbing matter, However, it is clear that for political reasons no one was ever charged, and the investigation was deceptively halted. Emmanuel was also denied closure in another legal matter in which he filed charges against his former law firm partner Stephen Isidore, claiming that millions of dollars had allegedly passed through the partnership accounts without his knowledge and had not been accounted for. The criminal charges against Isidore were not served as Isidore and his legal team, attorney Anthony Astaphan, succeeded in getting the high court to grant an order of stay to prevent more than 42 charges brought by Emmanuel from being read to Isidore. It must be noted, the charges against Isidore were filed in 2010 some months before the firebombing of Emmanuel’s residence. to date, this case remains delayed and ignored in the high court. Edincot St. Valle says this disregard for law and order by those who are supposed to maintain and uphold law and order in Dominican society, warrants a complete reform of the people who occupy leadership positions within the system.
