A MAN who was convicted of killing another man when he was a teenager has had his life sentence quashed and the matter sent back to the Supreme Court for resentencing.
The convict was accused of killing Manes Saint- Ilien, also known as John Saint Ilien, in Eight Mile Rock, Grand Bahama in 2006. At the time, the convict was only 15 years old.
In 2010, the appellant pled guilty to manslaughter by reason of provocation and was subsequently sentenced to life in prison.
He appealed his sentence after arguing the conviction handed down to him was based on the wrong principle of law.
