But Dr. Dowling makes it clear the Association is not able to comment on the ongoing police investigation and says that everyone is entitled to due process and should be given the opportunity to clear their names, free of speculation and hearsay. He also states that “We must put our support behind Dr. Reddy being treated fairly by all those involved.”

Dr. Dowling says his Association strives to hold its members to high standards, and high levels of accountability for the care they provide.

It must therefore follow that if a complaint or complaints have been made against Dr. Reddy, or any other member of the medical profession, then surely the Police are bound to properly investigate them and Dr. Dowling would surely agree that they should carry out a complete and thorough investigation.

Once the evidence has been collected it will no doubt be submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions who, last time I checked, is a senior member of the PLP and a former Cabinet Minister in the last PLP Government. Is anyone suggesting that Mr. Larry Mussenden will be anything but fair when he reviews whatever evidence comes to light – or doesn’t come to light?

Are you Reddy?

I give up.
Money.

It is already afforded you under many acts.

Suspicion. And you better have some.
Shalom.

If the investigation (of which the warrant was a part) discloses evidence of criminality, Dr. Reddy may be charged. Then, if a Magistrate or a Jury of his peers are swayed by that evidence he may be found guilty; so it is hardly fair to say he “automatically guilty”.

Your account above demonstrates the judicial value of a Jury trial where evidence and process can be questioned. So to answer your question; if I were wrongly arrested and placed before the court, I would hope for the Jury system to work for me in the manner you demonstrated by your actions.

Actually a warrant was not issued…which is part of the problem. No judge signed off on a warrant for his arrest.

Follow the money.

Really, all the public fuss caused makes me wonder if someone is getting too close to something.

But… in the end, either something is going to happen or not. Let’s just wait it all out.

I hope you feel this way if you get arrested for something you didn’t do.

For most of us, do something wrong and you’re in trouble.

For the privileged, you go to the newspapers and claims there is a ‘witch hunt’.

can say this from my personal experience – Dr. Reddy has always been a doctor who would suggest lifestyle and diet changes before prescribing or ordering tests that may not have been needed. Only when evidence, via stringent testing, pointed towards a more complex problem was the need for an MRI warranted – in my case.

Heaven forbid this man use the most modern of technologies to try and ensure his patients well being – much to the chagrin of the insurance companies I am sure – If one was seeking the genesis of these baseless allegations the heads of the local insurance companies is where I’d start to look – this island is very small and the circles of big business very tight.

Seems that d r e b has a need to make a smokescreen for something no one is talking about.

Tangible suspicion of criminal activity exists, a warrant has been executed and an arrest has been made. These is a basic investigative process; it does not matter what your profession is, and it does not matter who you are associated too. If no evidence is found to substantiate the suspicion, no charges will be laid; if evidence is found, charges may be considered. It happens every day in Bermuda; where are the protests in those cases, or does it simply not matter when the common folk are suspected of crime?
