Well it looks as though you can actually get away with Murder here. I have never been so disgusted in my own Country than I have been over this particular case. While no one murder outweighs another, this one is particularly disturbing due to the enormous cluster-fuck of a legal system and the way this was handled. Not to mention all of the unsolved murders that have taken place since this, and that list is becoming extensive.
Who would have thought that with an Island so small, where everyone is probably only twice removed from knowing everyone else on the Island that you can get away with something as heinous as murder here. It absolutely boggles the mind.
This is going to haunt us for quite some time. This particual fact rang true as I was recently away on Business. In a conference where only one Canadian was present, when he found out where I was from his first words were, “Bermuda, isn’t that the place where that school girl was raped and brutally murdered?”. Being the only Bermudian at the table and having everyone turn and look at me I was truly embarrassed.
While people make the argument that “Well it does happen in other places in the world”, isn’t Bermuda supposed to be different from other places in the world, or should the guys down at the airport stop singing “Bermuda is Another World” altogether?
Yeah this case gets my special stamp as well.
