Donald Rodney has petitioned the Court of Appeal (CoA) to investigate what he has called a farcical appeal of his 1982 conviction for possession of explosives.
Rodney, brother of slain Guyanese political activist and historian Dr. Walter Rodney, last month launched a vigil in front of the CoA in protest of a perceived inordinate delay in the hearing of his substantive appeal.
Speaking to Stabroek News yesterday, Rodney explained that the petition was aimed at prompting an investigation into a Full Court appeal of his conviction, which was improperly made, and eventually dismissed.
