Pottersville man charged for weekend stabbing

Degallerie being escorted out of court, as his lawyer looks on

Shane Degallerie of Pottersville has been charged with the murder of 18-year-old Justin Joseph of Fond Cole, who died from a single stab wound on Friday night.

Degallerie appeared at a Roseau Magistrate’s Court moments ago, before Magistrate Tiyani Behanzin.

He was not required to plead since the offense is an indictable one to be heard before a judge and jury at a High Court.

Justin was rushed to the Princess Margaret Hospital, where he succumbed to his wound. Degallerie was also hospitalised.

The preliminary inquiry for the matter was set for August 30, 2010.

Geoffrey Letang is Degallerie’s lawyer.

    Girl u making sense! How your aggressive brother can kill the man just so and talk about God. God doesn’t condone sin so stop talking shit that is damn nonsense. I understand and i feel for your brother but you lucky Justin not my brother because both of us would lose our brother.

    To everyone who have posted on this website thank you for the negative comments because it makes us stronger and to everyone else thank you for your support. There is no such thing as the wrong place and wrong time because at the end of the day on God know’s when it is your time to go. The point is if Justin was the one who had killed Shane it would be the same way negative comments here and there. The only thing that I have left to say is:
    TO OUR ENEMIES AND FRENEMIES THANKS FOR THE MOTIVATION YOU ARE MAKING OUR FAMILY STRONGER AND BRINGING US CLOSER AND TO OUR FRIENDS AND SUPPORTS LOVE YOU TO THE MAX.

    prophet1 I think that you are one of the few sensible people who have posted on this site. For the people who are out there just making judgements remember LET HIM WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE and also Romans 3:23 FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.
    When this is over you all will see Shane for the person that God has wanted him to be all his life just wait and see because I know that he is saved and he is covered by the blood of Jesus Christ.

    CONTINUE TO GIVE SHANE STRENTH SO THAT HE MAY CONTIUE TO FIGHT THESE TESTS WHICH BURDEN HIS BODY AND IMPAIR HIS SPIRIT.
    nOT FOR HIS PRIDE LORD, BUT SO HIS MISSION MAY BE MORE PASSABLE AND THAT SHANE MAY TOLERATE THE JEALOUSY AND DISCORD OF THOSE WHO EVIL DOES WHO CAUSED HIM TO BE WHERE HE IS RIGHT NOW. LORD LET HIM CONTINUE TO EXHALT IN YOUR NAME WITHOUT LETTING ANYTHING AFFECT HIS PERSONAL INTEGRITY OR HARM HIS PRESENT EXISTENCE NOR MOVE BACK IN THE FUTURE.

    @BEAU_T_FUL: BEAU_T_FUL you are damn right some family does live like pigs but I telling each and everyone of you say what you want but this family is not backing down and Shane is my baby and my prayers and the prayers of my people is lifting him up. Say what you want the one thing I can say let anyone of all you try nothing by that court and all you will see how big the DeGallerie, Alexander, Jno Baptist and Turnbull family is. I coming ready for all of all you, so all you better let the Judge do his job because if anyone stand in the way I PROMISE THAT MY WRATH WILL COME DOWN ON ALL OF ALL YOU LIKE AN EAGLE my days in the Army was not a waste.

    Justice must be served. But in d.a it don’t work that way… Justin ure resting now, and I am glad that you can’t see these comments of such wicked bad mind people who think that THE KILLER Is innocent, God is the almighty one, HE TAKES THINGS IN CONTROL WHEN HE SEE’S ITS GOING THE WRONG WAY. SO JUST COME ON THIS POST AND JUST SAY ABOUT GOD WILL DO THIS AND U ALL PRAYING FOR HIM.. PRAY FOR HIM STILL, IF U SOO SURE THE PRAYRS WILL WORK THE WAY U WANT IT TO WORK, THEN PRAY.. BUT I KNOW FOR SURE. every man makes mistakes but taking another man life is not a MISTAKE… ITS HATE AND IGNORANCE.. JUSTIN WE MISS U SOO MUCH. IF Justin was such a bad person mayb Shane wouldnt be able to walk or if u say he was in cutlass crew or wat ever, mayb it would be Shane under the ground, but ure stupid comments, just make u look like an idiot, a man who was so called in a gang would be able to defend himself. Justin had no weapons on him, but who did??? answer that question. SO BE FAKE AND KEEP ON TELLIN URE SELF GOD WILL SAVE SHANE,….. BUT YET I AM JUST A MOORON AS U CALL OTHERS. BUT U ARE THE MOORON FOR LIEIN TO URESELF. FAMILY STAND BY FAMILY, BUT FAMILY ALSO TELL FAMILY WHEN THEY ARE RIGHT AND WHEN THEY ARE WRONG. THE BIBLE SAYS THOU SHALL NOT KILLL….. THAT SHOULD RING A BELL. STOP BEING BLIND AND BYUSS AND BE REAL AND SHANE SHOULD BE TRUE TO THE GAME, HE WANT TO PLAY BAD MAN, PAY BAD MAN PUNISHMENT. AND PEOPLE FROM POTTERSVILLE ARENT SO HEARTLESS, DONT SAY HE WAS FROM POTTERZ.. NEVER!

    Its unfortunate that two families are left to mourn the loss of their children, one to senseless and irresponsible actions of the other an the other son to the system which has no real way of rehabilitaing anyone. Ifeel for the father of Justin who had only one son taken away long before he had time to become a man. i feel for the father of Shane who tried his best and yet is met with disappointment. Dot take me wrong do not shed a tear for someone grown enough to make sensible decisions, I do though feel for the parents who try their hardest in our country to raise the children with or without help and in the end are met with so much shame and though I am only in my thirties I can tell you that the way the kids are nowadays they are not brought up they are left on their own to grow up. To anyone of you who have children take time, make time to raise your children dont let them be raised by the Tv or the street corner. Let us take back DOMINICA let us build ourselves. Alot of people just find humor in coming on posting comments this not just being read in Dominica it is on the internet stop making us look lower than we are.

Our youth is truly lost to the television, music and all kind of outside influences. It is also unny that they never seem to adaptt the good things.

    Why in the world would you guys mention about son. Son what? Did Shane ever told you he has a son HANGOVER? His son has nothing to do with it. As long as the mother of that son teaches her son right, and tries her best with her son. Letting him know when he does wrong and teaching him what is right. Trust me that son won’t be in that situation. I have no clue to what happened that night. … shane has stab wounds too. The only people who knows what happened is Shane, Justin and the Lord above. So let the three talk and decide what to put. Hangover wants to add about son and other pple putting thier inputs.

    Has the alleged killer given a statement? What about witnesses? I’m curious to know what exactly happened as it seems from the comments that both individuals weren’t the cream of the crop. Was this self defense (as he seemed to have been wounded himself) or did he intentionally set out to kill this Justin? There’s a lot of emotion involved in this case but I have not really seem much which relate to facts.

    Someone?? Anyone??

    Thanks!

    this story has touched my heart so deeply….. another young man losing his life for wat. don’t we all haveproblems sometimes, would you want somebody to kill you every time that you hurt somebody’s feelings….. think about that for a second. life is precious people, as for shane maybe at the time you felt to do it but couldn’t you think… no one thinks of the consequence before the action so typical. that young man probably never got the chance to say God forgive me… just another yout man heading for hell…. is that what we want? we are living in an evil time so i am pleading with us that we be careful because if every time that GOd was angry at us for the wrongs tht we do or the sin we do against him and he felt like cutting us off from the face of the earth the earth would be void. none of us don’t know where or wat we would have done in that situation. it can happen to anybody but please let us think first. you do wrong you pay the consequence that’s just how it is………………… be blessed

    God listens to us ot all of us but for him to accept our pleas we first have to repent……….and by the grace of God all things and everything is possible……..

    Shane I have one thing to say to you Pray …………..because if you have faith as tiny as a mustard seed you can make mountains move and you will move this mountain…….

    I pray that God touch your Chest, Stomach, and your hand and heal all the stab wounds Justin inflicted on you ………..I claim healing upon you and I pray that God strengthen you and your family as you go through this tough time……..

    I also pray that God bring comfort to all those in pain……………and by the grace of God who the sun sets free shall be free indeed………

    Shane make Psalms 23, 27, 121 I believe in God and Our Father your anthems Cry unto the Lord and he will be your refuge in this time of trouble

    I love you man I love you more than anything in this world and everything will work out trust in God

    why do people still feel sorry for killers or should i say muderers right now i feel sorry for that dead boys family and did SHANE forget he has a son did he not even consider his sons future what is his son going to think … but then i think these boys those days got no sense all they do is go to school get educated and then sit and look for trouble not even a job so now i think the others behind will put their skills into action and to the family of the murdered boy justin take one day at a time god is greater than every one he will watch over you in every way.

    April 28, 2010

    First of all condolances to the family and friends of justin …. i didnt know him personally but i have seen him around, we frequent the same crowds as i am a young man myself, tho a lil older. Now ppl are saying that he was troublesome, we all have ways which others do not accept or are even willing to tolerate, but that does not give another man a reason to take your life. now as a young man from the roseau area i have also been around shane. i feel sorry for his family, parents in particular bcuz it cannot be easy … and there is a posibility (though very small since this crime took place in dominiica) that he may spend a lengthly amount of time in jail. with that said that is where my sympathy ends in regards to shane…. shane has been a problem for years, which was never been solved… may justice prevail in this case

      Its sad that he died yes, but maybe if he lived his life differently and wasn’t in cutlass crew shane would have left him alone and no argument would have taken place.

    the police needs to implement stop and search exercises.in so doing weapons and drugs will be found.such exercise though can be dangerous due to the fact information may leak out. crime must be tackled aggressively so that we do not have our tourism being negatively impacted.we must take back our beaches and scenic areas so that our law abiding residents and visitors can enjoy. the scrooge is drugs.some people benefit from the proceeds and turn a blind eye rather than have counter measures in place for interdiction.

I suppose ur a “Christian” whatever that word means… so im sure ur familiar with the story of the two criminals that were on crosses next to Jesus. Both were sinners and one was pardoned by God. We…U, ME …EVERYONE is a sinner. Noone is perfect. Not even U. Once again… Judge not…lest U be judged yourself. Let he who is without sin…cast the first stone. I guess u must be Jesus Christ and is living without sin.

      To all of you bashing Concern, here is the proof that is quoted from the bible. It was not made up, so maybe you all need to read the bible for yourselves:

      John 9:31 (King James Version)

      “Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.”

    I blame that entire trend in violence here on the government.

    Not because they are not providing enough opportunities and all that for the youth, but because they don’t have the fortitude to hang one or two people.

    All the talking, educating, counselling and mentoring that they try will not work. They could provide ten thousand jobs for the yutes on the street, and there will still be a significant number of them that would prefer stay on the streets. One has to get into the mentality of these young fellas. Most of them don’t want to commit to an 8 hour job on a daily basis. Fast cash, quick ride, making your reputation, and impressing them young woman is what them man leave for.

    I mean if a man can take his guts and decide to arbitrarily out another man’s candle, then why the gov’t cannot out his back? What they waiting for? For a tourist or two to start dying and then they gonna start acting desperate? It seems gov’t don’t wanna hang anybody because come election day, it might hurt their chances. But they ought to listen to the cries of the people, who are very fed up with this trend of violence in little Dominica. What happen they fraid if they execute couple people, visitors and investors will not want to come to DA? Just wait and let the current trend continue and all you go see.

    If there is no detterence for crimes, then the level of crime is going to rise. As harsh as this sounds the truth is the truth. What is the sense of giving a man life-time prison to get fat on tax payer money? He is never going to be a contributing member of society anyways.

    My opinion is, if you gonna kill then be prepared to be killed. I bet you violent crime would fall drastically in Dominica.

    Dominica way too small and beautiful for them things to be going on like that man. The government needs some balls to protect the rest of society.

      While I support the geist of what you are saying, executing someone is not as easy or simple as u make it sound.

      The Privy Council is dead-set against the death penalty, and according to their statutes if someone has been on death row for ten years without being executed, that constitutes cruel and unusual punishment, and their sentence should be reduced to life imprisonment.

      Which means that all the accused has to do is keep appealing until 10 yrs have passed because you can’t legally hang someone until they have exhausted ALL their appeals. That’s why even in J/a with over 500 murders so far this year they haven’t been able to hang anyone in many years.

      So in reality you can’t blame the lack of executions on the government.

    • April 28, 2010

      @ A VOICE: I don’t know who you are, but I tell you, truer words were never spoken. If I could shake your big toe(local speak) I would.

      I think our laws need to be re-enforced. To me, from the time the news came out that they dismantled the gallows, all murderers let loose. I’m telling you there are ALOT of psychopaths and sociopaths walking around in our little island, just waiting for their chance to take somebody’s life. Is like their skin itching them.

      PM Skerritt, yes our people love you and hold you in high regard. You are the Minister for National Security. It’s your job to make your nation feel secure. Bring back the gallows and enforce those laws. Let your legal representatives (by that I mean Judges, Magistrates) know that you don’t condone those senseless killings in our beautiful island.

      Right now, at the end of the day, our peaceful reputation is pretty much all we have going for us. Let’s not wait for us to come like St. Kitts, St.Lucia and Jamaica.

    I went to church especially on Sunday just to pray for Justin asking God to guide him and accept him into the gates of heaven with his soul at peace. This was such an unfortunate event . I was shocked to hear the news about my friend JJ. I don’t care how ‘troublesome’ someone is..who cares …he was growing up and becoming a better person. No matter what happened in the past…death is not the answer/the revenge point. R.I.P Juicy Boo! JJ
    To the murderer, I was not there and I don’t know what went on but clearly your actions were very wrong. Everyone makes mistakes and well you are left to deal with this one and learn TO LEARN WELL FROM IT! May God shine his light on you and better you for the future!

    Sigh…I still can’t believe Justin is dead…:( R.I.P Justin May God bless both families and guide them through this unfortunate event.

    to the family of Shane, i am sorry your son have put you in this position, but sometimes when we cover-up our children’s wickedness, something like this is bound to happen.

    to the people who say (what he was doing there?)

    Should we all stay in our homes and hide? we cant even walk on the streets? how ridiculous is this, they need to let tiyani do his work, let justice reign , too many young people think they can get away with murder! its disgusting. It could be your son or brother! then what would you say??…

    Mr Views I do appreciate your contribution and to those who posses a certain level of intelligence will definetly learn from your advice. I do believe alot more need to be done to boost our education program in D/ca. One very important skill is derth – Communication skills.
    Our people lack basic communication skills – the only way we resolve disagreement in D/ca is through derison or violence. You disagree with someone then witness raising of the voice or something like “you a dam a??????- you know what I mean. Look no further- the so call leaders (politicians in particular) does not exemplify good social interaction and engagement.
    Have you ever been to a public event where people would push you over to get by without saying excuse me or I’m sorry? In such event I implore everyone to take heed of Mr Views advice. A violent reaction is not worth the consequences.

    D/cans we are very disrespectful and everyone deserve respect ; Respect should start from home -Parents speak to your kids and show them respect- “A kind word stirs up anger”. If we communicate with the kids effectively so will your kids communicate with others-“ama manger rasin da enfant Glassi”

    The authorities must reintroduce courses such as civics with social communication. In fact the introduction of these courses will not only curb violence but will also serve as an ancillary to our developing Tourist industry.

    The main reason why most people won’t kill someone is because they afraid of the Death Penalty or Life in Prison. However when people seeing that everyone in DA getting away with murder you think there is anything to hold them back? The police always find the killers however they always escape in the courts. WHY? Instead of the minister of security holding a press conference and trying to address the issue they in party politics and stuff with workers. Instead of the courts trying to find ways to nail these killers they trying to find ways to get rid of the only Judge that is making a difference. WHY? Lets also blame the system that is letting society down by having so many killers escape jail time and have them back on the street.

    Everybody carrying knives nowadays like is a piece of clothing. If u breath too hard they ready to stab you. they don’t show any value for life. Time the court start putting them behind bars for for life without any possibility of coming out, not just a few years and then back out. If you man enough to do the crime,then you should be man enough to take your lifetime jail. And the lawyers that defend those guilty murders are not any different from them.

    April 27, 2010

    People, both youth and adults, if you find yourself in such situations ( fighting, quarreling, day-bar, beff, mete veyeing, old talk etc…) Get away from it immediately. This day and age is no longer about kicks and punches and the last man standing wins; it’s cutlasses, knives, ice picks, scissors and guns). Walk away, run away or even fly away with your defeat. It’s true defeat is not an easy thing but it’s only temporary. It’s lasts long enough to ask yourself certain questions:

    1. What if I didn’t stand down?
    2. What if the other person had a weapon?
    3. How precious is my life?
    4. How stupid would I turn out?
    5. What if it was me that did the killing?
    6. What would my family and friends think of me?
    7. Who would I be hurting the most?
    8. What is murder?
    9. What is prison like?

    Fellow Dominicans don’t worry if you’re called names such as punk, little boy, coward, piece of s**t, fool, weakling… take it all and they must get fed up of calling you names. Report the matter to the police. It’s a good thing doing this because you will still have your life to do many many unbelievable and God gifted things. Hey, no one is happy about what happened to the young men but because of that sinister and cowardly act, families got hurt and it could or can escalate more violently between the families. Make that be a lesson to us all. This young man made the biggest mistake in his life and I know he is regretting right now where ever he is. You do the crime, do the time, but there is a final judge you have to talk to face to face and you got some of his own questions to answer.
