Man appeals conviction, 45-year sentence for rape of girl

Sean Trotman

Arguing among other things that High Court judge, Roxane George-Wiltshire SC, admitted prejudicial evidence during his trial for the rape a young girl, Sean Trotman is appealing both his conviction and the 45-year sentence. 

Listing the grounds on which he is appealing, Trotman contends that Justice George-Wiltshire did not only err in law in admitting prejudicial evidence into evidence, but that her “ruling is against the weight of the evidence,” as well.

He is also of the view that the sentence she imposed upon him was  excessive.
