  Jamaica Gleaner News - Sir Howard Cooke, Governor-General, etc - Thursday | February 9, 2006
Howard Cooke has never resigned as a member of the party and, now back in private life, he will perhaps want to catch the special delegates conference on Saturday, February 25, to elect a new party leader.
Deploying MRA strategy, Cooke felt that if Jamaican leaders and influencers were lifted out of their situation for quiet reflection and dialogue elsewhere, solutions could be found to many of the contentious issues which were dividing us.
Sir Howard passionately shared his dream of having more of this story of the Jamaican past, at the level of the involvement of the people, researched and docu-mented for the enlightenment and upliftment of young Jamaicans.

THE Court of Appeal has condemned the conduct of former high court judge justice Howard Cooke in his handling of the trial of Haniff Miller, sentenced to 35 years imprisonment almost three years ago.
The attorney also submitted that Cooke made comments to Miller's attorney which were intimidating and disparaging, arguing that the judge's conduct made it impossible for the attorney to properly conduct the defence.
The Court of Appeal judges, in their written judgment, said that having examined the transcript of the trial they were of the firm view that Cooke's interruptions went beyond the bounds permitted a trial judge.
