It may (or may not?) be worth pointing out, because a lot of the Quotes are asking if this is what a human life is worth, that the fine doesn’t really reflect how the court mathematically values human life. So, to say a bit more-

You may not believe this, but it's actually possibly to legislate to de-link the salaries of the Chief Justice and Governor General. This is a power open to legislators.
In 1987, an amendment to the First Schedule of the Act set the salary of the Governor General at $25,000 more than “the annual rate of salary (exclusive of allowances) attached to the office of the Chief Justice from time to time”.

The best case for a National Hero, tbqh.
Before Jamaican independence in 1962, Brits and some Jamaican elites considered Jamaican Patois unserious and unsophisticated.
Louise Bennett-Coverley fought against that claim. The poet and folklorist worked for decades to preserve Jamaican culture as early as the 1930s.
