StMaartenNews.com Special Report
7-parts series about the Public Prosecutor's Office views on the lead times of investigations
|
|
This is a special report brought to you by StMaartenNews.com outlining the views of the Public Prosecutor's Office on the statutes of limitations pertaining to the length of investigations, in particular those of politicians, other public figures and prominent citizens on St. Maarten.
The introduction to this special report can be read online via the following article:
Part 3 - Does the Public Prosecutor's Office work alone?
In
part 2 we discussed how the Public Prosecutor's Office conducts investigations. In this part we will discuss whether the OM operates as a standalone entity in the justice system or not and the effect this has on the lead time of investigations.
The Public Prosecution Service is part of the criminal justice system, which can be divided into four phases: investigation, prosecution, trial and execution. An important feature of the criminal justice chain is that the various organizations involved are dependent on each other. Acceleration, for example, on the 'front-end', such as police investigations, will not yield much for the overall lead times when delays in the prosecution or during the trial occur. This dependency makes the processes vulnerable. An effective and efficient cooperation in the justice chain is therefore of the utmost importance.
However, the law enforcement chain in St. Maarten has been under great pressure for many years. See the recent report "
The state of law enforcement" of the Council for Law Enforcement in 2018. There are major concerns that the
Law Enforcement Council have about the quality and effectiveness of the law enforcement chain system on St. Maarten. There is insufficient staff, knowledge, expertise, quality, material, in all facets of the criminal justice chain. Each department suffers from a shortage of personnel and basic facilities are lacking across the board to allow law enforcement to function properly.
The Public Prosecutor's Office underscores these concerns and concludes that this has consequences for the lead times of the criminal justice system of St. Maarten. Particularly complex cases, for which more specialist expertise is necessary, that is not always available in St. Maarten, are delayed. Support from other parts of the Kingdom in complex cases have a direct influence on the turnaround times and resolution percentage. This help and support is therefore an absolute necessity.
The Public Prosecutor's Office, like the Council for Law Enforcement, advocates strengthening the law enforcement chain on St. Maarten, with a structural improvement process and an integrated (chain) approach across the board, both within the law enforcement chain and beyond. It requires (financial) commitment from the government of St. Maarten to invest in the criminal justice chain.
Conclusion for part 3 is that the Public Prosecutor's Office does not work alone when it comes to investigating and bringing criminal cases to trial. It is a part of the criminal justice chain system and each link depends on the other to execute its work properly. So delays on the front-end can have a domino effect on the lead time of a criminal case before judgement is finally executed.
Note: We have also seen in practice on the 'back-end' that problems can also delay the execution part of the system if, for instance, the prison is full or (hurricane) damaged, whereby convicts are sent home due to lack of space in the prison or due to the inhumane situation of the prison because of its deplorable conditions.
In part 4 we will discuss the length of investigations carried out by the Public Prosecutor's Office and another revelation is made. Stay tuned...
