Experts evidence agreed Dr. Denzil Douglas does not have Dominica citizenship; Judge to set date for decision

Basseterre, St. Kitts, January 10, 2019 – Anthony Astaphan, SC, Lead Counsel for Leader of the Opposition the Right Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas in the Dominica Diplomatic Passport case said Thursday the legal matter brought by the Attorney General, Hon. Vincent Byron Jr. “is a simple one.”

“This Diplomatic Passport was given to Dr. Douglas as a matter of professionalism and personal courtesy (by the Prime Minister of Dominica, Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit). He applied for it as required under the regulations. He did not declare a citizenship of Dominica at no time, even when he travelled on his regular passport or on the Diplomatic Passport. His nationality was always declared as that of St. Kitts and Nevis or a Kittitian,” said Astaphan to newsmen after the trial ended at the Sir Lee Llewellyn Moore Judicial and Legal Services Complex.

The Latest: R. Kelly’s attorney denies abuse allegations

By The Associated PressSTOCKBRIDGE, Ga. — Jan 8, 2019 9:44 PM ET

The Latest on a documentary detailing abuse allegations against R. Kelly (all times local):

8:25 p.m.

An attorney for R. Kelly says abuse allegations made against the R&B star in a recent documentary are false.

In a phone interview Tuesday evening, Kelly’s Chicago attorney Steve Greenberg dismissed the allegations, calling them “another round of stories” being used to “fill reality TV time.”

Earlier Tuesday, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx said she was “sickened” after watching the Lifetime documentary, “Surviving R. Kelly,” which examines a history of abuse allegations against the singer.

Greenberg says it is inappropriate for a state’s attorney to characterize allegations she’d seen on TV, prior to charges or an investigation.
