00:00Family, friends, and colleagues turned out to pay their final respects to Hector, who
00:04was killed on December 31st in Port of Spain shortly after leaving a church service.
00:10Among those in attendance were former President Justice Anthony Carmona, Roger Gaspard, S.C.
00:16Director of Public Prosecutions, and Lynette Cibaran-Sweet, S.C. President of the Law Association.
00:23During the almost four-hour-long service, Cibaran-Sweet described Hector as a truly
00:29remarkable individual who impacted the lives of all those around him.
00:34Randall was not only a distinguished legal professional, but a dedicated advocate for
00:41justice and a fierce protector of the rights of those who could not defend themselves.
00:48She said that while his life was short, it was purposeful and impactful.
00:53By all accounts, he approached each case with compassion, integrity, and a steady resolve
01:01to do what was right.
01:03His legal acumen and ethical standards set a benchmark for his aspiring attorneys and
01:11earned him the respect of his peers and adversaries alike.
01:16Justice Brown Antwine remembers Hector as a gentleman and an outstanding prosecutor.
01:22He established several legal firsts in this country, Antwine said, but more than that,
01:27he was fearless.
01:29He was polite and respectful to everyone.
01:34He was also brave and fearless.
01:38President of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Trinidad and Tobago, Pastor Leslie Moses,
01:44called Hector a friend and said that he was still trying to come to terms with what happened.
01:50He called on citizens to unite in turning the tide against crime.
01:55We have to do something about our beloved TNT.
01:59We have to.
02:00And while we celebrate the life of Randall, there were 624 others who died at the hands
02:10of criminals last year.
02:18It should not be so much.
02:20Moses told the congregation that the offerings from today's service would go towards a tertiary
02:26education fund for Hector's children.
