Pam- I understand your issue. The first thing I said when I heard/read about this was "What the h--- is he doing with a 17 year old girlfriend? No, it's not criminal nor is it unusual. Just look around the island. I see old gringo men of all descriptions with lovely dark skinned young women. Who can blame the girls for lending themselves to a meal ticket and a decent place to live? We fat old white girls don't have a chance. LOL Unfortunately this takes away from the real issue. I did some figuring (tell me if I'm wrong - I'm counting on it) There are 7 building structures on the 17 acres. There were 65 armed raiders. Let's count the big house as two which would make it 8 and lets drop one cop (who may be going behind a bush) and make it 64. That means on average 8 people 'searched' each house --- for 14 hours? AND FOUND NOTHING? Can you imagine what 8 guys would do in your house for 14 hours? There have been all kinds of numbers bandied around and someone mentioned that he was held for 14 hours. No - he and all his employees were handcuffed in the yard for 14 hours. The raid started at 6 AM and he was released in Belize City at 2:00 AM. That equals 20 hours in custody
