BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – AS Shanique Myrie’s case against the Barbados Government continued in the Caribbean Court of Justice at the Jamaica Conference Centre in Kingston yesterday morning, lead attorney for the Barbados Government, Roger Forde, received a sharp reprimand from head judge, Sir Dennis Byron. The reprimand came after Forde attempted to discredit claims by witness, Odisha Brown, that she was discriminated against and refused entry into Barbados, as the Jamaican Government sought to present evidence demonstrating that far more Jamaicans are denied entry to Barbados than any other nationals. “I suggest to you that Douglas Wright is known to the Immigration Department as a facilitator of persons into Barbados who do not meet the requirement,” Forde said, while acknowledging that Brown was to be accepted into Barbados by another Jamaican, Douglas Wright.
