Convicted killer Terry Cassius Seale will appear before the Barbados Court of Appeal in four months’ time to challenge his 18-year prison sentence.
Seale, of Groves Crescent, St George, was sentenced to that time in jail back in December 2018, for killing his former lover, Moreta Forde.
His appeal reached the case management stage today when it was called before Justices of Appeal Francis Belle, Margaret Reifer and Jefferson Cumberbatch.
Appearing before the court during a virtual sitting this morning, attorney-at-law Dennis Headley informed the panel of Appeal Judges that Seale had agreed for him to continue as his defence counsel in the matter. The lawyer also said he had received the formal go-ahead from Community Legal Services to appear on the appellant’s behalf and was now in possession of the record of the 2018 proceedings in Seale’s case.
