🔨 McKeeva Bush anticipates another trial by 'incompetent' ODPP

McKeeva Bush MP is expecting the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to continue its case against him over allegations of indecent assault at a cocktail party two years ago. He also believes the ODPP, which he described as "incompetent", may appeal against the court order that halted the trial earlier this year due to an abuse of process. Bush has cancelled two public meetings he planned to hold about a commission of inquiry he intends to ask for as he waits to see what will happen. 🏛️

Bush has voiced concerns over what he sees as direct interference in the justice system by a series of governors. He had called for a commission of inquiry into the abuse of the prosecution process at that time, but this had not happened. He has now repeated that call and was planning to hold two public meetings about it. However, he has since cancelled both meetings. Bush is filing a private member’s motion calling for a commission of inquiry into what he believes is the inappropriate and direct interference in the cases against him and the abuse of the process by the governor’s office. 🗣️

Bush maintains his innocence and has repeated his position that the cases against him are not based on real evidence but are politically motivated. He believes that the ODPP will seek a new trial, at the very least in relation to the two counts on the original indictment that are no longer stayed by the court. He believes the director may also seek to appeal the counts for which the Order of Stay remains. 🧾
