Private Shane Coulthrust was found guilty on two of the nine charges for which he was court-martialed but late Friday night his fate remained unknown as the court could not settle on his punishment.
The 33-year-old, at one time a sailor with the Barbados Coast Guard (BCG), but now with the Barbados Regiment, went on trial April 19 on several allegations linked to an April 19, 2019 incident while he was the coxswain aboard the vessel Endurance, patrolling Barbados’ territorial waters.
On Friday after deliberating for more than three hours, at 8:05 p.m. the panel of President Lieutenant Commander Fernella Cordle, Lieutenant Commander Robert Morris and Captain Randolph Clarke convicted Coulthrust for disobeying a standing order by using his personal cellphone on the Endurance and deviating from the patrol area without lawful authority on April 19, 2019. ....

That was the contention of Queen’s Counsel Andrew Pilgrim yesterday in his 37-minute closing argument in the court martial being held at the Barbados Defence Force’s (BDF) Hodgson Hall, St Ann’s Fort headquarters.
“This evidence, I submit, may be highly unreliable. Don’t rely on all your training in the army. That is not the key in this. The key is what are the charges, what is the evidence and was it all proved. The answer is a plain and simple no. I can’t be a polythene dealer one day and a witness the next, and you don’t at least look at me with a certain level of scrutiny . . . . There is a reason why witnesses in that position have to be scrutinised,” he told the panel hearing the matter. ....
