The Guyana Court of Appeal yesterday began hearing arguments in the challenge brought by murder convicts Rafael Morrison and Joshua Persaud, who are appealing their conviction and sentencing for the 2013 murder of Marlon Andrew Ramcharran, who was fatally chopped at Tain, in Berbice.
They are contending, among other things, that the 20-year sentence imposed upon each of them is “unduly severe.”
In their Notice of Appeal, Morrison and Persaud also contend that the judge who conducted their trial erred in law by not acquitting them through a no-case submission made by their attorneys.
