Sentenced to 57 years behind bars after being found guilty of murdering his fellow fish cleaner, Quaison Jones, called ‘Blondie’, is appealing the sentence, saying that it is severe.
Additionally, he is contending that trial Justice Navindra Singh, by whom the sentence was imposed, did not properly put his case of self defence to the jury, in accordance with law.
In the circumstances, he is arguing that this amounted to a misdirection of the jury on the judge’s part.
