NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Amid a spike in homicides, lawmakers on both sides of the political divides are sharing their views on the issue.
Last week, Education Minister Glenys Hanna-Martin said it’s unlikely we will see execution, after Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness threw his support behind capital punishment.
But what do our lawmakers believe?
The last execution in The Bahamas was on January 6, 2000 at the Fox Hill Prison.
We pitched the question to the official opposition as well Free National Movement Leader Michael Pintard said the party hasn’t decided on the matter.
The hot-button issue is again making news headlines amid a surge in homicides in the capital.
Religious pastors remain split on the issue. We asked the lawmakers if they believe capital punishment will be a deterrent to criminal activity.
