HIGH COURT JUDGE accused of MISCONDUCT. A High Court judge who as a prosecutor represented the State in the historic 2006 case against former Chief Justice Sat Sharma has now been accused of misconduct. Justice Carla Brown-Antoine has been reported to the Judicial and Legal Services Commission (JLSC) for alleged misconduct in a murder trial. The charge was levelled by her former colleague, acting Senior State Counsel Brent Winter, in a letter to the JLSC dated December 8, 2014. In his letter of complaint, Winter claimed that on November 6, 2014, Brown-Antoine “participated in an off-the-record ex parte (one side only) meeting with prosecutors” minutes after empanelling a jury in a murder trial. Winter wrote that “the issues raised by the learned judge exemplified a bias towards the prosecution and were calculated to influence the prosecution in the pending case.”
