Court of Appeal hearing convict’s challenge to death sentence for 1993 murder

The Guyana Court of Appeal has commenced hearing arguments from Gary Moses, who is appealing his death sentence for the 1993 murder of Leila Barrow, who was found strangled at her David Street, Kitty residence.

According to attorney Nigel Hughes, who is representing Moses, the trial judge failed to adequately put to the jury his client’s defence of having no knowledge of the crime, as he had told police.

Hughes took particular issue with the manner in which the investigations into the fingerprinting analysis was done.
