Later this month, the Guyana Court of Appeal will commence hearing the appeal filed by former Barama Company Limited supervisor Paul Abrams, who is currently serving a 25-year sentence for sodomizing a 17-year-old girl.
Back in 2016, a jury had convicted Abrams on charges of buggery which he committed on the teen in 2007.
Through his attorney Nigel Hughes, Abrams (the appellant) who calls the verdict “perverse” is arguing among other things that the trial judge misdirected the jury on the law of buggery and indecent assault and on the evidence of the latter.
