Earlier today, Prime Minister John Briceño confirmed that the Director of Public Prosecutions, Cheryl-Lynn Vidal, has recused herself from the Elmer Nah double homicide case. According to P.M. Briceño, while the D.P.P. no longer has relations with former Deputy Commissioner of Police Marco Vidal, the uncle of the accused, she has informed the Commissioner of Police that she will not play a role in the legal matter. Reporters asked Prime Minister Briceño for his take on the police department’s issue with rogue cops. He was also asked if any steps have been taken to impress upon Minister of Home Affairs, Kareem Musa, to crack down on these rogue elements. In his response, the head of government defended the contributions of Minister Musa, contending that he is not given enough credit for his efforts to weed out these bad officers. Here is what he told us.
