Dancehall artiste Ninja Man and his co-accused have been found guilty of the 2009 murder of Ricardo Johnson, also known as Ricky Trooper.
Ninja Man has also been convicted of shooting with intent.
A seven-member jury comprising four men and three women handed down the verdict in Home Circuit Court in Kingston after three hours and 11 minutes of deliberation.
Ninja Man, whose given name is Desmond Ballentyne, along with his son, Janeil, and Dennis Clayton, were on trial for the 2009 murder of Johnson in the Lower Mall Road community of Kingston.
Ninja Man and his co-accused had been on trial for the five weeks in a hearing that was closed to the public because it is a gun matter.
He looks like a mad-man. He should be imprisoned for life.
That man is a bad example to his son.
Even though the murder occurred in Jamaica, the perpetrator is a Dominican. Expect it to make news in Dominica. Even non-Dominican news makes news in Dominica. News, whether international is broadcasted throughout the world.
I also hear US news and read about it. There are times news from the West Indies is broadcasted/printed through the Media.
Those who reside in Toronto of all will read about this news through the Share and Camera, Caribbean newspapers. There is also the PRIDE newspapers.
The Radio Station, CHIN broadcasts West Indian/Caribbean news. We are not without such news.
As the saying, this is nothing new.
Hello and good afternoon my people . Well Ninja Man you are a talented entertainer but obviously you made a terrible decision and you didn’t teach your son anything good. I am sorry about your situation but I am sadden by the life you and your son took therefore my sympathy is with the victim and his family.
That ain’t dominica news. Jamaica news.
Eight years! Dominica takes forever. Next, the verdict will be thrown out. Only people who steal food are ultimately convicted.
That is to be expected when the education system produces adults that don’t know geography.

If you had taken time to read that short story, you would have noticed that news report is a story from Jamaica. Dominica has nothing to do with it. But you people are so hungry for things that will crumble down our Country Dominica, you all will go at anything that seems to be like that. Gush man!
By the way, your name sounds like someone I used to contend with on Dominica Weekly; where you revealed that you are an atheist.
And if so, you are someone from the US who was living in Dominica. Something caused you to return to the US, with a grudge against Dominica’s government–you confirmed that right here on DNO sometime in the months of this year. If I am wrong, sorry about that!
