Defense attorney Dexter Todd, also a parliamentarian, contends the dual proceedings are premature and legally unsound, warning that testimony from the inquiry could unfairly taint the criminal case. The team insists the incident must first be addressed under maritime law, and demands clear terms of reference and guarantees of self-incrimination protections before any cooperation with the inquiry. They’re preparing to take the issue to court to halt the criminal proceedings until legal safeguards are in place.
