The case was fully argued and the Supreme Court decision will be handed down at some point in July.  Keeping it on Awich, this evening, the Leader of the Opposition made himself available to the media to discuss his party's position on the PM's statement.  In that statement, reference was made to the 18 persons who attended the meeting of the bar – calling it a puny minority.

The Leader of the Opposition referred to the statement generally as "crazy":

Hon. Francis Fonseca - Leader of the Opposition
"It's absolute craziness, at a time when people all across the country are calling on Mr. Barrow and his government to deal with the corruption in his Government, and to deal with Mr. Penner. That is the individual he should be talking to the DPP about, providing evidence and providing, ensuring that there is a successful prosecution of that individual. Instead, he's threatening and trying to intimidate the Bar Association of Belize. So, it's absolute nonsense; it's craziness. I understand in the release that the Government put out - the Prime Minister put out, he talked about a minority, and a puny number of people representing the lawyers of Belize. Well, Mr. Courtenay, as the President of the Bar, and elected executive of the Bar, are elected by the membership of the Bar. They are elected to do just that, to speak on behalf of the Bar Association. And, I can say, as a member of the Bar, that I received the draft resolution before it was passed, and I received the resolution that was passed after the meeting. So, those were circulated to all the members of the Bar, both before, and after the meeting. There was absolutely no criticism, no opposition voiced at all with respect to that resolution that was passed. So, I take it that the Bar Executive, the Bar President, had the absolute support of the members of the Bar Association with respect to that resolution."
