"""""That's what I'm confused about. It does sound like he's a "person of interest"..a suspect. Has he been arrested....is this like a Grand jury in the USA.""""

He and his attys are treating this inquest as if Howie is the defendent at a murder trial.

They want the press out - they want a Bench hearing rather than a jury inquest. They are citing Dodi Fayed - whose father won the right to a jury inquest - the reverse of what they want.

Then - if it is to be a jury - they want "voire dire" to question 7 of 12 potential jurors. They must have felt the pulse of the Bahamian General Public. Stern must be the UGLY AMERICAN.

Flags up!

And he was all lawyered up with defense lawyers before we even realized it. And now it looks like Roy Black is making a bid to represent him. JMO
