GRENADA – A Grenadian attorney has filed a motion in the high court calling on the Grenada government to remove flogging as a penalty for people who are convicted for offenses in the magistrate court.
Jerry Edwin argued Grenada is the only jurisdiction in the entire western hemisphere with this law on its books.
Edwin insisted that for several decades, judicial officers, and magistrates in particular, have abused this form of punishment by ordering flogging for robbery, traffic offenses, offensive language and all sorts of offenses not permitted under law.
