SHANE Gibson’s lawyers want Police Commissioner Anthony Ferguson removed from office and will make a complaint to the Bar Association to have Director of Public Prosecutions Garvin Gaskin disbarred due to the way investigations were handled in Mr Gibson’s case, according to former State Minister for Legal Affairs Damian Gomez, QC. He said lawyers also intend to sue for malicious prosecution on Mr Gibson’s behalf. In defending their client, Mr Gibson’s lawyers stressed the testimony of Assistant Superintendent of Police Debrah Thompson above everything. ASP Thompson admitted she was wrong to meet key players to synchronise their statements. Prosecution lawyers argued that the subsequent changes to a witnesses’ statement were immaterial. ASP Thompson testified that such conduct is common in investigations. She said Commissioner Ferguson and Mr Gaskin were aware of her meeting with contractor Jonathan Ash, Mr Gibson’s alleged co-conspirator Deborah Bastian and their lawyers. Mr Gibson was accused of soliciting and accepting bribes from Mr Ash, with Ms Bastian being his alleged middle-woman.
