FIVE years after being sentenced to hang for the 2005 murder of businessman Dr Eddie Koury, five men have appealed their convictions.
Shawn James, Caleb Donaldson, Jerome Murray, Terry Moore, and Robert Franklyn were found guilty in December 2019 after a month-long trial. On April 3, their attorneys began submissions before the Court of Appeal.
Justices of Appeal Mark Mohammed, Maria Wilson and Ronnie Boodoosingh have set aside two extra days for the appeal. So far, they have heard submissions from Donaldson’s team of Rajiv Persad, SC, Karunaa Bisramsingh and Shane Patience; Franklyn’s attorneys Wayne Sturge and Danielle Rampersad and James’ attorney Daniel Khan.
