Supreme Court Registrar Ossie Walsh says a matter between the Director of Public Prosecutions Evelina Baptiste and High Court Judge Victoria Charles-Clarke is now considered closed.
An official release read, "Some recent development which unfolded in the criminal division of the Supreme Court, as a result of an exchange between The Bar and The Bench, which spilled over into the public arena, are both unfortunate and regrettable". It continued "This morning, in an open court, The Honorable Director of Public Prosecutions offered an apology regarding her statement to the press, which Her Ladyship Justice Charles-Clarke accepted. This matter, for all intents and purposes, is now considered closed." Walsh said the court will continue to jealously guard its integrity and purpose, as it continues to administer justice impartially for all. Its overall quest is to uphold the administration of justice in Dominica. Recently, Charles-Clarke had chastised the office of the DPP for what she described as not doing “enough for the speedy prosecution of matters.” But DPP Baptiste responded with a press release, blasting Charles-Clarke for being “DPP and Judge and setting cases for the DPP”
