James Forbes
Former Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), James Forbes has had his more than six-year-old criminal conviction set aside by the Court of Appeal.
The ruling, which was handed down Friday morning, paves the way for Forbes, who served the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) for more than two decades until his 2014 conviction, to receive his pension.
The Court also ordered the state to reimburse the $800,000 fine paid by Forbes forthwith.
Despite the good news for Forbes, the much heralded and well liked former crime fighter who was often touted as being a future commissioner of police has indicated on radio that he will not be returning to the JCF. He had taken on a top job with a leading hotel chain following his brush with the law.
