Man appeals life sentence for wounding neighbour who asked for music to be turned down

Andy Boodram

Andy Boodram who back in 2018 was sentenced to life in prison for severely wounding  his neighbour Deonarine Persaud, who had asked him to turn down the volume of the music he was playing, has appealed both his conviction and sentence.

Boodram called ‘Boy,’ (the Appellant), argues that the sentence was too severe.

At his appeal hearing yesterday morning before the Court of Appeal, his attorney George Thomas submitted that “the  trial judge erred in law when he admitted the oral statements to form part of the evidence which he then relied upon in the directions to the jury.”
