It becomes a habit. And this, at all communes forming the jurisdiction of Port-au-Prince, Petion-Ville, Carrefour, Arcahaie La Gonave, etc.. Often, we extract the firm charged with investigating, the defendants for criminal hearings and hearings for criminal defendants with or without assistance of a jury, which does not show up in court for lack of means of transport. These are challenges that the National Prison Administration will have to overcome, a matter of respecting the right of detainees who are presumed innocent, to be judged. And if the facts alleged against them do not, they should be released. We must make an effort to drive them before a judge at the date so they can answer the questions put to them on crimes and crimes committed.

While the criminal proceedings without assistance of a jury and criminal hearings continue, the Dean continues to finalize the records of the accused who must, working days, to attend court for trial.

According to a knowledgeable source, cases of kidnapping, rape and armed robbery are the most frequent. Many women are involved in the offenses listed above. It is reported that there is one who raped a girl of 5 years by introducing a brush handle into her vagina. The victim was taken to hospital where she receives care.

All told, the month of February was marked by the holding of criminal trials without jury assistance. Assisi during which several defendants were tried, convicted and released.
