Edward “Alcapone” Green will have to wait a little longer to know his fate in the murder of Damien Dorival after his sentencing was postponed on Friday morning.

Green was to be sentenced today but the court has been adjourned until the opening of the September Criminal Assizes on the 17th of September.

Green was found guilty of the crime on July 17 by a nine-member jury.

State prosecutor, Keith Scotland, had described the verdict as “true…in keeping with the evidence.”

When the verdict was given one of Green’s attorney, Peter Alleyne, described the entire matter as a ‘tragedy.’

“There are not victors here,” he remarked.

He said he will give a full statement on the case itself after sentencing.

Dorival was murdered in 2008.

According to court reports, he was shot and beheaded.

His body was found on Elmshall Road while his head was found in the Palm Grove River.

The matter was presided over by Justice Bernie Stephenson.

    It does not matter how long they take this accused might never taste freedom again. In my opinion the punishment have to match this atrocious crime and at worst. LIFE IMPRISONMENT WITHOUT ANY CHANCE OF PAROLE”. Lock it and throw the key”.

    Why the delay? Why bring the man to court if you are not ready? He was convicted by an anonymous jury verdict for a crime committed over five years ago. Of course, the court will say it is not for us to understand. You are right, I certainly don’t understand such waste of time, your Hionour.

    No pardon for such a cold hearted criminal. Hang him, hang him, hang him! Law and order MUST be maintained at all cost. The evil that men do live with them forever and ever amen..but be reminded that “Change Must Come” and that also means in the judiciary. :twisted:

    Assertive, NOT Agressive!

    he will be sentenced to death and the uwp under our distinguished leader lenox shall seek a pardon in the public interests as an elderly sick citizen; this is not because alcapone is cousin to ron greeen
