YOUNGE: Between the Lines of Power & Proof

Contrasting Perspectives of Attorney General Anil Nandlall and Dr. Dexter Todd
What happens when two powerful voices offer starkly different accounts of justice, evidence, and institutional response in the wake of a child's death?

In this gripping episode of Caribbean Tea, we examine the case of 11-year-old Adrianna Younge, whose tragic death has ignited national outrage and international concern. Through key excerpts from earlier interviews, we contrast the official position of Guyana’s Attorney General Anil Nandlall with the expert legal and forensic insights of Dr. Dexter Todd.

This episode doesn't just review what was said—it analyzes what was left unsaid* With a sharp legal lens and compassionate perspective, we explore the disconnect between state narratives and scientific reasoning, and what it means for public trust, transparency, and accountability.
