The Court of Appeal has upheld the unlawful wounding conviction of a woman who attacked her sister on in 2023, but suspended her 18-month prison term for three years, sparing her immediate incarceration.
The court ruled on Friday that the original custodial term was disproportionate to that of her co-convicts. The appeal was filed in 2024 and arguments heard in December 2025.
The judgment brings to a close the appeal of Carla May Crooks, who was convicted in the St Thomas Parish Court on May 14, 2024, following an altercation on January 1, 2023 involving her half-sister.
