At the hearing of the appeal to a 37-year sentence for sexually assaulting a child, Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Shalimar Ali-Hack said that the penalty imposed upon Linton Pompey was especially warranted given the specific circumstances of the case.
Ali-Hack was on Tuesday presenting arguments before the Trinidad-based Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) which is hearing Pompey’s appeal of the sentence which he contends is excessive.
The CCJ is Guyana’s final appellate court.
