The Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (ECSC) has confirmed the temporary suspension of a Saint Lucian judge serving in Grenada, following his recent criminal charge for assault involving a weapon.
Justice Shawn Innocent, who was presiding over criminal matters in the Grenadian judiciary, was formally charged on April 28 with assault with a deadly instrument—a serious offence classified under Section 176(e) of Grenada’s Criminal Code. The nature of the alleged incident has not been made public at this time.
