Neesa Gopaul’s mother asking CCJ to quash conviction/sentence

Granted approval by the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) to appeal her conviction and sentence for the murder of her 16-year-old daughter, Bibi Sharima-Gopaul recently lodged with the Court, the grounds on which she intends to mount her challenge.

She has complained primarily about the conduct of her High Court trial, at which she contends prejudicial evidence was led against her which ultimately resulted in a miscarriage of justice.

The Appellant is now hoping that the Trinidad-based court of last resort will reverse and/or set aside the judgment of the Guyana Court of Appeal which upheld her conviction.
