The Guyana Court of Appeal on Tuesday set aside the 58-month jail sentence handed down to jeweller Bishnarine ‘Sanjay’ Persaud in 2015 for causing death by dangerous driving, while saying that the decision to convict was “troubling.”
Stabroek News understands that outgoing acting Chancellor Carl Singh, Justice BS Roy and Justice Brassington Reynolds unanimously agreed that the appeal should be allowed and the conviction and sentencing should be set aside.
The case came up for first hearing sometime late last year and since then the court heard arguments and received written submissions from both sides.
