A nine member jury on Thursday found Shane Degallerie guilty of murder.
The trial has been going on for the last three weeks.
He is now on remand at the state prison and will be sentenced on July 8.
Degallerie, of Pottersville, was accused of stabbing Justin Joseph of Fond Cole to death on April 23, 2010.
The incident occurred at a shop in Pottersville, after a quarrel.
The matter was started during the September 2012 Criminal Assizes but the court was forced to traverse it after the foreperson of the jury fell ill.
Degallerie is represented by Zena Moore Dyer and Gina Dyer Munro.
The State’s case is led by acting DPP, Julien Prevost, assisted by state attorneys, Arthlyn Nesty and Sherma Dalrymple.
Justice 4 Justin
Shane was raised in a very good home with both parents and his sisters, am really not sure where and what went wrong, we all need to remember that we are all victims of society and all its ills, lets cover our boys and girls with the blood of Jesus. Its unfortunate that this young man Justin lost his life, but i do hope that there will be some kind of rehabilitation for Shane even as he goes off to prison. My sympathies to both families, am sure it is not an easy time for either of you.
Just wish this never happened… Justin was a kool fella, wasnt a trouble maker one bit, everybody have their rage to get vex when they are pleased… If you all calling Justin a trouble maker, bcuz u saw him angry sometimes, then i guess most of u are not human… But still Rest In Peace Justin
shane wil come out doh behhhhhhhhhh
Yes, because all you think the devil will do good for all you. Don’t worry, he may come out due to whatever his family and friends doing, but Jah will never let Justin’s family continue to suffer for the rest of their lives. You and all Shane Degallerie’s supporters will know in due time the power of prayer and what Jah can do. Keep it up.

in stockfarm he need all u to have his back..go dere n meet him. too many murderers walking free
He is not gonna see this comment stupid
He murdered someone in cold blood. Is he not Haitian? If he is not a naturalized national, if not sentenced for life, after he completes the prison sentence, if he survives it, he should be deported to his homeland.
so ignorant
Finally a sign that our brother can rest in peace..Mr prosecutor ensure that the right judgement is handed down… July 8 we will be awaiting the finaly word..R.I.P Da Wase. Life will never be the same.
Yea da big chest you use to have playing most badman it mayb deflate when you hear guilty wii…it have to deflate more when they hand down the sentence…you will stop walk with your face hard now..you have to sleep with your bottom tight where you be dere now…AT LWAST MY PADNA I A BETA PLACE…BUT SHANE YOU HAVE TO SUFFER
what about MARKIE mahaut case…
vernetta the lawyer has a job to do.if it was your brother who was accused,wont u be happy for him to have a lawyer.or maybe u should go and show her how to win her cases.are u qualified for that?sure not.
I not a lawyer but I will tell you what I am .I am joyous as can be. U cannot just kill a person just because you felt like it and expect to be set free
in the case of the kfc wen ur broda throw the young boy kfc was he right or wrong cause it seems like he did nothin wrong in his life
boy all you guys can do is give each other maypwe on internet.
Point taken….
Thumbs up you, you.
This maypwe..that is not good
For our country and people of Dominica.
Well he did the crime he has to do the time. Good job Mr. Prevost.
Three years later…. Now off to prison you must go, you must go.. you must go… off to prison you must go… murderer SHane. Hope stockfarm blues get you and you feel the torment that you deserve to feel.
This is sad that you are rejoicing over that situation. Nobody won, in this situation it is sad on every side. Two young lives lost – and two families are saddened. While you or other members of your family (son, daughter, brother, mother, father, sister, or even yourself) may have no intention of hurting/killing others,you cannot predict what will come to pass. You never know when any of yours will SNAP and do the unthinkable. After all, we are all humans.
So instead of rejoicing, you should pray for the young man that he will change and become a better individual and for your family that they will not meet the same fate. Stop throwing stones, you might just break your own glass house.
thank you so much.because they fail to realize that they laughing now.happy. but they have to be careful.it can happen to any one…and this situation has changed shane.some of the people commenting don’t know shit about him. but is allu that doe have no sin so send allu stone high.hope it aint fall back on allu head.
We need more prosecutors like Prevost,Dalrymple and Nesty. You all are ready to work and argue law.
Dominicans are getting used to that kind of life. Killing, shooting, raping, stealing, druging, boboling, all that in a small little Island. When 3/4 of the population in Dominica becomes disfunctional, then the Chinese will whip all you behind.
Really, what has our beloved country has become?
Something should be done to bring back the beautiful country we love.
R.I.P justin
Nothing happens before its time. There is justice and it is not misplaced. There is no joy in incarceration; however, whatever length of time behind bars there will be some kind of relief for families of victims. Enough is enough. This FEEL FREE FEELING needs an end.
On an other note, Shane should not have been on bail, he should have been incarceration while his case was not yet heard. I do not know what our justice system is all about. While on bail he could have committed an other murder
he could and he did not i hate to hear people like all you send negativity on people!!! SHait man
justice will reign at this point these murderers need to be hanged n parents need to keep standing up for their innocent childrens lives that have been taken continue to rest in peace ur memories live on
Sometime someday he will surly be out by the grace of god he will be free again ur prays is in ur hand shane some day we will be happy,laughin again god is gd we are not give up on u shane u are in our hearts and mind.more VIVE
I do not know what type of person you are to make such a statement. He murdered someone and you are saying “by the grace of God he will be free again and God is good?” You have a mortal and spiritual problem.
Leave God out of it! Do not use his name in this conviction for murder. It is not as if he did something good and is wrongfully convicted. You are calling God’s Holy Name in vain. His Commandment is: “Thou shalt not kill.”
You committed a mortal/grievous sin – The Second Commandment – Thou Shalt Not Take The Name of The Lord Thy God in Vain.
Your counterpart committed The V Commandment – Thou Shalt Not Kill.
In fact he committed many grievous sins. Another one is, “Not loving his neighbor as he loves himself.” If he loved him he would not have taken his life and deprived him of his life.
Shame on you….The man took somebody’s life and thats how you react?????? When people die they dont come back…they cant come back…Shane still has life and Justin’s is gone..His friends and family will never see him again…He took the life of my little pardner..I hope an example is made out of this murderer..May the grace of God and his peace abide with Justin’s hurting family..
wicked set of ppl EVIL allu do will live with ALL of allu…..shane will will see justin in his sleep doh worry
like how you seeing him? never happen.i’m 100% sure he sleeps just fine!
soon u go be out my nigga hold strong bossman
sakway sootiweh
Notnice I think you’re just a damn ,just wait till a situation like that reaches your family, idiot.
is niggaz like u that have him in there!
Finally. Rest in peace justine. Shane got what he deserves. To justine mum be strong
its just the starting for his lawyer she have more cases to loose thanks to all who prayed for my family especially my mother
I’m so happy he is going to jail cause Justin was my good Pardner n an irie fella he didn’t deserve that at all
this is in poor taste. lawyers have a job to do.
Idiot this the lady’s job
this is the lady’s job
Ok good, that is the first step.
Now let us see if the punishment discourages other yute man from following his foot steps. That ‘slap on the wrist’ thingy not working.
Look right now you have another yute up at Stocky for almost doing the same thing that this one there did. If them elements there have guts to just take a person’s life then the law ought to have the same guts to take theirs too. But we become so politically correct them season there that we make celebrities out of murderers.
The Judge atleast ought to let his minimum jail sentence be the same number of years the victim was when he killed him; with hard labour too you know…
amen
just now my papa touch di road
What about Nurse Dyrample.
You notice that they failed to state the length of his sentence? that critical and vital part of information was not given. All you know is that he is “guilty.” What a system!!
Frabo, please read and understand. He will not be sentenced till 8 July.
How do you people read? It is written that he will be sentenced on July 8 then you will know how long.
READING & COMPREHENSION:He is now on remand at the state prison and will be sentenced on July 8.
All you system is backward. Yes, he will be sentenced on de 8 to 8 days? give me a break! is not me that kill the man nuh!!
Did you not read the part of the story that states: “He is now on remand at the state prison and will be sentenced on July 8.”
maybe they have sentence him yet.
He has not been sentenced fool
Read Frabo read…
My guess is the system is as backward as that of the developed world where sentences are not handed out immediately upon the determination of guilt but after a separate penalty phase where the defense can seek more lenient sentences and the prosecution can attempt to get stiffer sentences. But i guess we just have to stick to the backward system!!
STILL, think you are still BACKWARD.
Relax folks i was just being sarcastic towards those who don’t read and are quick to comment and leave negative comments about the country.
Get your fact first before you come post. Sentencing usually take place after the murder trial
in the u.s
even in the developed countries some of the criminals are not sentenced immediately, so what is your point
@itassi I guess I’m backward for trying to let @frabo realise that it is not only in Dominica that people are not always sentenced immediatly upon the return of a guilty verdict. Since i assume that you are really from itassi I will just think that you failed too recognize the sacarsm in my statement. I am not of the opinion that what happened was backward. It is standard practice in most civilized court systems. Maybe @frabo just might not know better
so glad there your not in the justice system….because u clearly don’t know how it works….
Sentencing is on July 8th. Keep an eye open.
Why give Fabro fire for his comment. I sure he understand sentencing is on July 8. Fabro may be checking the man is really found guilty BUT the sentence can be a few years. Lets wait and see. Fabro will then laugh at us.
Please read. Not reading and understanding makes one put foolish statement. He has been found guilty and will be sentenced on July 8th. Read once, read twice and even thrice so you can understand what you read. Just saying!
Frabo, I find people have to be correcting you too much eh…it looks like you cannot understand what you read…everytime like that then??? Stupes!!
LOL!
Frabo, go to adult education classes to learn reading and understanding
The Court has to decide the length of the prison term. Do not be impatient. You will hear about it at a later time.
Awesome reading skills bro
JUSTICE FOR U CUZ MAY UR SOUL REST IN PEACE TO LIFE IN PRISION OR DEATH ITS About time too much killing
thank you god now my boy can rip
So is his the punishment deaf?, oh just asking !
no, it’s blind
hehehehehehehehe deaf and blind in a new home.
Laugh out LOUD. I like that.
Got you love it ! lol
You guys have me cracking
How about mute?
Good one and nice play with the comments! Faceup…do you mean “death”?
so i guess the black did not work eh. good always conquer evil. no matter how many obeah or cocomacack they do for him, he was still found guilty. everyday his family in black. for what? Dont u know that God reigns? and he conquers all evil
God DO NOT SLEEP. Everything with God happens in due time.
It took time but the day finally arrived.
Say that again!!!
Are you implying that the color black is evil ? Is that why Negroes are called black people ?…..I’m just saying, why do us Dominicans have to put color to every damn ting ???!!! Evil is in every color, Red and Yellow Black and Whte.
The God I serve is Real…He does things well..!! No color magic would have kept this guilty verdict off..He killed Justin like he was his fish being prepared for his broth and he/they expected him to go free..??Vengeance is mine I shall repay says the Lord!!!
The devil cannot and will never stand divided…it will fool and take money from those who believe that they can do all their nonsense and run to him for liberation…oh well!
Finally…
Waiting to hear how many years he gets…
Thank you Heavenly Father!!! Thank you!!!
good job prevost ….
Well what do you the justice system is still working..I hope he gets some good jail time..
Breaking News? more bills added to the tax payers account. He has to eat everyday, bathe, and sleep free whiles the other young man’s life was taken away over a “quarrel?” Way to go Dominicans…
@frabo – we will put him at your home instead
No! put the BIG shorts that go free at my home instead.
@heal our nation i observe da! need a bunk mate frabo? i doe care where he go nuh…i jus tired see him in my eyes in town an my padna six feet!
The death penalty is still on the books
Are u retarded??? would u prefer if he walked away free and killed more ppl. DUMMY
Justice for once. Great Job Jury…
Yeh! I’m a retard. What law you all have there? he’ll be out in a year or two. That’s justice? I see it as a waste of tax payers money.
Tell me where are you getting at? yea tax money that paying for it but then anyone who does crime goes to jail. Death sentence you want?
so you want him to go free? and next thing kill your son? or your daughter? or your niece…nephew…aunt uncle…? You? What really do you want them to do? please do tell
Stupidity and ignorance in its highest form. People like you spoil Dominican’s name and promote injustice
“Advocate for it” Dominicans still have a name? We have traded places with Haiti due to our immorality. What name do we have? If the law and punishment was meted out equally to each citizen, rich or poor; then I’d have no problem with your corrupt bribery system. Maybe you are part of that system – I don’t know!!
You did not give life, you DO NOT take life. It is not every time there is a quarrel people have to KILL. Life is SWEET to everyone. Whether a person is in jail, prison, or unemployed the tax payers foot the bill.
I hear empathy for the perpetrator and NO SYMPATHY for the VICTIM.
But wait awhile, it looking Like Frabo has a crack. Let’s bear with him. Smh
stop barking frabo.seat!
Good! No cork up this time.
DAT YOU HEAR WII….GUILTY!!! NOW GO UP!
Justice has been served. I am happy. Peoples lives are not to be taken by individuals. The good God giveth and he taketh. Not man. Martha you should be happy, even if this does not bring Justin back, at least you are comforted to know that the person responsible is being held accountable. RIP Justin
Justice 4 justin atlast shane tire walk free with his big chest in d air
saying a quiet prayer that the jury will carry out justice for the young man…J.J.J!!!!!!!
I join you in this prayer!!! Justice for Justin Lord Jesus!!!
Father God you know the cry of Justin’s mother. Her heart continues to ache with soooo much pain. Justin’s brothers, sisters, neices, nephews, aunts, uncles friends they all continue to feel the pain and heart ache. He was murdered!! Let justice prevail for Justin Lord!!! Let Justice Prevail!!!
people that trend of just killing people to become celebrities just need to stop . tooooo many murderers out there feeling macho while families are hurting .
so so true .and tooo many murderers out there playing macho while families are hurting .now a days to become a celebrity just take a life and u good to go wi
but he do not have a father
Yes, he did have a father (obviously). Was his father’s only son and he was taken away from him. His father like his mother still pains for the loss. But as you know, women are more open with emotions therefore people tend to show more empathy towards them.
