Lawyer for convicted rapist tells appeal hearing medical examination not properly done

Colvin Norton

The attorney for convicted child rapist Colvin Norton, appealing a 28-year sentence, has argued that the medical examination performed on the then six-year-old victim was neither “thoroughly nor properly” done.

As a result, attorney Dexter Todd told Guyana’s Court of Appeal on Thursday that the conviction was both “unfair and unsatisfactorily.”

Todd, on behalf of the appellant, is contending that at the age of six, the “sexual injury” in the findings of the examining doctor should have been a lot more detailed.
