A MAN who was convicted of killing another man in 1998 had the appeal against his life sentence granted and the matter was sent to the Supreme Court for resentencing.
In 1998, the appellant Ervin Brown was convicted of the murder of Adras Moltimer and sentenced to the then mandatory death penalty. His appeal against conviction and sentence was affirmed a year later and he was subsequently remanded to death row.
Still, after the Privy Council’s decision in Bowe & Davis v Regina, the mandatory death sentence was quashed and the appellant was brought before the Supreme Court in 2012 to be re-sentenced. This time, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.
