Another stupid armchair analyst. Is Carasco causing the murders? Do you want Carasco to be exactly where the next shooting will take place and stand between the criminal and the victim? Self-fulling prophecy my big toe!

Woy! You just wanted to show that you know the expression self-fulfilling prophecy? Boy St. Lucians can talk crap!

My dear Concerned Citizen, … I am responding to your Killing Hope piece, if not for any other reason than to expose the dangers of hearsay evidence. It is obvious that you did not read the article yourself but you dared to express an opinion based on what you assumed to be the theme of my piece. If you had read my article would have noticed that I have faith that things will change and we can hope for a better future that is why I wrote….
Instead of focusing on the crime rate and attempting to score political points off the high number of homicides, we should be considering the resolved cases perchance to increase the total. Our criminal investigators should be preserving evidence from unresolved cases so that at some point when the police are hopefully more capable someone might go back to them. Years after a murder someone may find the courage to talk. A dying witness may have a change of heart on his deathbed and reveal to the police what he or she knows about say the killer of, say, Verlinda Joseph. You never know.
