[UPDATED] Death sentence, conviction for killing child, 4, overturned
Marlon King -
MARLON KING has successfully argued an appeal against his conviction for the brutal murder of his four-year-old stepdaughter Amy Emily Annamunthodo in 2006.
A three-member Court of Appeal panel on Tuesday, found several faults with his trial judge’s handling of his case in 2012.
A retrial is being considered and a decision will be given on July 29 as the judges await further submissions and information from the attorneys representing King and the State on the issue.
King was sentenced to hang for Annamunthodo’s murder after he was convicted by a jury following six days of directions by then Justice Anthony Carmona.
