So Mr. Mud is telling the Attorney general what to think:

"attorney general has to be careful when taking decisions to sanction a federal officer of the law. Mud said no one can be suspended when there are no serious crimes committed.

If anyone was injured then leaving the scene of an accident is a serious crime Mr. Daveling. Three beers, hmmm.

How about an explanation as how the police could say he pa*sed a sobriety test when he was not able to stand on one leg?

Not convinced. I am already seeing signs of them accepting his feeble excuses as being indispuatable--smart fella, maybe not smart enough.

mr prosecutor Mud You stated! "Based on article 9 of the traffic ordinance of the Netherlands Antilles gives a person 24 hours after an accident to report it to the police". Well mr Mud, I will you bet you this statement will comeback and bite you in your as.s/butt.

He said he ONLY drank 3 (one, then two, then three) beers. Guess he lost count after that.

He also used the excuse that he has a medical condition, reason why he couldn't stand on one leg during the test. Do the maths and add three beers to his medical condition and what you get? A wobbly one legged prosecutor in a hurry trying to get home. Does he have any letter from his doctor to back up his lame excuse?

I just wish the prosecutor could be as fast and as defensive for our "local" boys in blue.

Well i always have two drinks when I go out.
The first one and the last one. I can swear to that.
The first one when I get to the bar and the last one before I go home.
I don't believe I have to give account of any other drinks in between those two.
What is the fun in drinking if you have to count and report each drink you have.
No fun for me.

On another very serious note, I will print this letter and attach it to my dashboard.
Just in case a police officer doesn't remember that I have 24 hours AFTER the accident to report it.
What i have to find out is when does the count down start?
In fairness, it should start when I am made aware of the accident.
Maybe Mr. Mud knows different.
I hope he tells me

Boy look jokes. Did Mudd say all of this or are you all exxagerting? Boy this is the story of the century. Not even the little boy that had the whole world looking for him in a baloon in the sky is as jokey as this. Mudd , you good eh.

@ Look at Mud's language:

indeed, he is out to manipulate the Attorney's General mr. Dick Piar decision and thinking...after all Dick Piar is just another "inferior" local black man. Thus!.... they do that all the time with the dumb greedy politricians ruling the islands.

Luckily mr. Dick Piar speaks, reads, and writes fluent Dutch, and they way we, black police officers in Holland know him, he is not another **s licking modern uncle Tom.

To those SXM officers that arrested this jerk, we say, keep up the darn good work. Handcuff them also before putting them in the back of your car, because they are nothing more than the other black people they programmed you to think are always out to violate the rights of others.

Why do you people think they are in the Caribbean, because they are so skilled, and want to a*sist with blind justice for all?

you all should look up the laws before you all blablabla all over the place. The law gives you 24 hours to inform the police of an accident if you drove away.But if the police catch you within those 24 hours before you inform them you can be punish by law.Again for those who just like confusion. You have an accident and drove off, you have 24 hours to inform the police without been punish by the law, but if the police arrest you within those hours or after the the law can punish you for violating art. 9 traffic ordinance. Mud should of explain himself better to avoid all this confusion. And yes the prosecuter drove away andwas arrested by the police before he himself call it in so the law/judge not the police has to deal with him just like everyone else. Last but not least. I also find Develing reason given for driving away the biggest joke i heard ever, but a suspect has a right to lie or come up with a excuse .I guess being around so much suspect during his work, Develing has learn to lie and come up with a good excuse. Let us give him credit for that.

United States Senator Edward Kennedy had been drinking when he lost control of his car and went into the water. It was dark, he was drunk, and he couldn't see it was only six feet of water when he climbed onto land, walked home, told his family, and went to bed. The next morning the body of Mary Jo Kopechne was pulled out of his car. He pled guilty to leaving the scene of an accident. Sounds like Develing was lucky he didn't kill anyone THIS time.

You want to know why this prosecuter could come up with a lame excuse such as this one? We the SXM people gave him that opportunity. As a man of the law, he knows first hand the crime situation on this island. When the young lady was rapped weren't we here online saying if a car hit in to you we must continue driving because we no longer know now a days if it's a hold up or an honest accident? It's our own that has made this prosecuter come up with such a GREAT excuse and not lame. When you listen to the people in the community that's the advice being given if you are driving in dark areas and some one run into you. So our "good" prosecuter took his opportunity.

@ Know the law.

You seem to have knowledge. Let me ask if some is injured and you leave the scene of the accident. Do you still have 24 hours while the person is left in possibly life threatening situation?

Mr. Develing stated he has a medical condition. I never heard Mud mention that part in this well thought out defence of his colleague.

@Djaka Polis na Hulanda

this is one time Dick had better use judgement. If there is no justice on this one then it sends out a big message to real criminals.

@ Jokes

It is the story of the century, but so was Loor, Laveist, Velasquez, and look where they are now.--forgotten.

When the so called "blind" lady justice is out to get you, such as in the case of commissioner Derek Holiday who the wanted to replace with one of their own, as usual, they, the highest ranking police officer, the prosecutor(s), the judges of instruction, the judge with final say ALL sit together and plan their next move. Then they come out and perform, putting on a show for the media and general public...pretending that they want to reduce crime. They are the ones who are promoting crime using laws designed to protect the people for other means.

Cor Merx was not the first crooked prosecutor on SXM. There was another one before him who's name I just cannot recall. But he was there on the island doing numerous illegal things before, during and after hurricane Luis, and fled back to Holland when Curacao got some information about his doings. Nevertheless, here in Holland he was taken down.

I SEE CORUPTION!!

@ look at Mud's language

I never know i am taking and law exam. But i will only say this look up the law if you did not already do that and read. I am sure you already know the answer.

Dear Editor:

Why was the suspect held as reported, for six(6) hours if there was no credible reason to hold him especiaaly in his position. Something is wrong, truly wrong! I wish some witnesses who saw what happened when he was detained will come out and give more details!

Weslink took bribes given hand shake and walked away
Oldenkamp planted drugs in Oasis car also handshake and walked away.
Merx took the pie he was caught convicted and now practicing law
De vrieze
Mooie
They could have a very successful law firm

Only on St Maarten

Yes, Oldenkamp was the crook!...thank you very much-above the law- those are the names of the nobody's in the Netherlands, no one ever noticed them when traveling in the bus, metro, tram, train, or peddling their rusty bikes to "work" who migrated to the Antilles and suddenly became revered experts, living in big houses, with a maid...while here in Holland all they had/have was/is a tiny 3rd or 4th floor rented apartment they themselves had to keep clean.

Dutch manufacturers/Commerce exports the best of their products to foreign countries in order to stay in business.
However, the best legal, commercial and medical minds are not exported. So, what do you think the Antilles/SXM gets, EXPERTS?

@ SXMER - I cannot agree with you more. That is exactly why Develing and others use the excuses we gave them

I agree with u also @ SXMER.. But what makes me sick is that they would use a situation like that something real that real people experience and get hurt... as their own excuse like it was some joke or something..
But dont worry they will all get theirs
