Sentenced to death for the 2006 murder of Roydel Sandy, Herman Ally has appealed his conviction, arguing among other things that the judge who tried his case misdirected the jury on a number of pertinent legal principles.
Ally, also known as “Shark Oil,” was convicted by a jury for the capital offence on October 31st, 2012 and sentenced to death by hanging by Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire at the High Court in Berbice.
Outlining the grounds for his appeal, Ally contends that Justice George-Wiltshire misdirected the jury on the law of self defence and admitted into evidence, a caution statement which according to him, “ought properly to have been excluded.”
