MAJURO â Sentenced to 50 years in Majuro jail as a teenager for a gruesome double murder, rape and robbery in the rural Laura area of Majuro in 2017, Alee Phillip received a modest victory with the recent Marshall Islands Supreme Court decision eliminating his conviction for rape.
The Supreme Court dismissed the rape conviction on a technicality: A victim must be alive for the perpetrator to be charged with rape under Marshall Islands law, which differentiates such a charge from necrophilia. The Supreme Court ruling will shave time off Phillipâs prison term, the longest in Marshall Islands history. But this weekâs High Court re-sentencing ensures that Phillip will remain incarcerated for four decades.
