…but new sentence means nothing
Delon ‘Fatboy’ Reynolds was yesterday sentenced to an additional 14 years in jail on arms and ammunition charges stemming from the killing of self-confessed death squad informant George Bacchus.
However, Reynolds, 23, will only spend 10 years in prison since Justice Claudette La Bennett ordered the additional sentences to run concurrently with the sentence he received for manslaughter and which he began to serve late last week.
The indictments were presented yesterday by state prosecutor, Dianna Boyan. On the charge of possession of firearm without licence, Reynolds pleaded guilty. He then asked to explain, a request that the court granted.
He said that he received the gun from a man and he subsequently showed the police the weapon.
The Judge found that no special circumstances exist and sentenced Reynolds to seven years on each of the arms and ammunition charge to run concurrently with the 10 years he is currently serving.
Reynolds was convicted for the killing of George Bacchus last week Thursday and was sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment after pleading guilty to a lesser count of manslaughter.
Bacchus was found dead in bed at his Lot 76 Princes Street home on June 24, 2004, after he had made bombshell revelations about a death squad operating in the city, for which he said he once gathered information.
Funeral parlour co-owner Debra Douglas and her nephew, Fabian ‘Fabie’ Jessop, had been jointly charged with Reynolds for Bacchus’s murder, but they were subsequently freed due to insufficient evidence.
LISTEN HOW JAGDEO WILL MAKE ALL GUYANESE RICH!!!
