Jamaica to review judge-only trials via joint select committee
Nationwide NewsLO·JM·1 day ago
Jamaica's Justice Minister Delroy Chuck has re-tabled legislation allowing a judge to discharge a tainted jury and proceed alone or order a new trial, after the provisions were previously stripped from the Jury Amendment Bill. The move signals a legislative push to address jury tampering, though the bill's passage and scope remain uncertain. This is a domestic legal reform with limited immediate market or geopolitical impact.
