Sentenced to life back in April for the shooting death of Timehri youth Ronsley Clarke, Travis Evans is challenging his sentence which he describes as severe.
Underscoring the grounds for his appeal, Evans who had pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the young man’s killing, advances the argument that since he had thrown himself at the mercy of the court, the sentence imposed was severe.
In his notice of appeal lodged with the Guyana Court of Appeal he has advanced that his plea would have saved the trial court considerable time in otherwise having to conduct a trial.
