| The
SOSs started out with a social afternoon at La Luna. We spent
some of the time enacting witness examination of Noga so she could
practice her testimony in a familiar environment in the event that she
had to appear as a witness in her burglary case. This term, we have expanded to six: hello Anna and Jonathan!   |
Peter is back at the books...it often
seems he never left them! Check out Peter's view from his seat in the library:  |
On Thursday, I went
with Noga back to court for the second hearing in the case regarding
her burglary. The case was set over so that the parties could
negotiate a "settlement," i.e. plea agreement. Once again, it was
nearly impossible to hear anything that went on. We did find out
that Grenada has only one prison, which seems to double as a jail, and
there is said to be no separation between minors and adults.
There are no facilities or resources specially aimed at juvenile
offenders. The young man accused of perpetrating Noga's case is
associated with another burglary the same night involving two other
young men. The young man in her case is seventeen years old; the
others are eighteen and nineteen. |
On Saturday, we went
to the SO organization's opening dinner, which is such a treat.
It was great to see old friends, and to meet some new ones!  Aieeee, matie! Thar's a pirate amongst us this term!   |
