Attorney General Adriel Brathwaite made the revelation to the DAILY NATION yesterday as he reacted to the death of Leacock, whom he called a long-time friend and legal colleague from 1987.
“I know Charles the man and Charles the father, so it’s very personal for me,” he said of the father of two boys. (HLE)
