The Judiciary of Trinidad and Tobago has announced that in the first arraignment hearing of an indictable case filed under the AJIPAA legislation, the Honourable Justice Ramsumair-Hindsset has set the court’s expectations for criminal trials.

According to a press release from the Judiciary: In The State vs Sheldon Doodnath, just four months after the accused was charged, the accused was brought to trial, arraigned and entered a plea of “not guilty”. This allowed the Judge to identify the course of the case and to set strict timelines for the progress of the case.
