DON’T JUDGE US ON MURDERS – In the Senate on Wednesday, National Security State Minister Keith Bell said that murders should not be the sole indicator of how bad the crime situation is in the country today. He and Attorney General Allyson Maynard Gibson said that other serious crimes are trending downward across major categories. However, in the 2012 election, which saw the defeat of the Ingraham government, the PLP erected billboards to show the murder count. They called for the defeat of the FNM, because they claimed the PLP had the solution to stop the bloodshed. “We cannot hide the truth and we cannot suppress the facts,” said Philip “Brave” Davis at the time. “We have to address the issue of crime.”
