Two years after he was arrested and charged for murder, Shane Degallerie will have to wait a while longer for the commencement of his trial.
He was charged with the murder of 18-year-old Justin Joseph who died from a single stab wound allegedly afflicted by Degallerie in April 2010.
When the matter came up for hearing on Wednesday, Justice Bernie Stephenson informed lawyers that she had decided to use this week for “case management with lawyers” of “all matters down to be heard in October.”
As a result, she adjourned court to Monday October 1, 2012 and Degallerie’s matter will be the first to be heard.
The High Court had granted the accused bail in the sum of $30,000.
Degallerie is represented by Zena Moore Dyer and Gina Dyer Munro of the law firm of Dyer & Dyer.
The matter surfaced in the September 2011 and January 2012 criminal assizes but was never able to get off the ground.
There can never be peace as long as there is no justice..No amount of prison if worth a man life and right now the system rule is that it’s better to kill a brother than plant weed to feed your family..For this reason Justice where it comes to murder will be brought forth by death in the form of revenge..
Mr politician and so call law makers your duty is to serve and protect the people, that why you were voted into office..Please perform your assigned duties before gun star slinging in the streets like it’s fireworks on new years eve..
Why all MURDERERS GETTING BAIL AND THE PENALIZE THE DRUG SMOKERS AND SELLERS WRONG LAW
All the people crying for justice for Justin, should be part of the protest against disrespect for our constitution. You cannot seat up and not come out to protest against disregard for law and order in Dominica, then when this same disregard affects your friend, you want to cry. It don’t work that way.
This “no law, including the constitution” thing is real and it lives in Dominica and has grown. Everyone is piggy banking on the Leader’s statement. Lawyers, criminals, everybody.
But hey…you guys wont see the bigger picture and tell me I putting politics in everything.
This ‘no law no constitution’ thing used to be catching in its time but I think it has seen its heyday….it is now so passé.
Come on guys get something new….this makes you sound like drowning men catching at straws.
I hope the criminals are reading you.
$30000.00 for a young 18 year old man life.And what’s even more sad is he will be out in no time,hence the precidence
which crime is a greater offence caught with drugs or murder .1 million bail for drugs but 30 thousand for murder thats justice in dominica no wonder this country cant reach anywhere
It happens in the USA all the time so don’t put DA down like thats the only country injustice happens. Just an example of injustice in the USA. Tell me whats wrong with that picture ok. A woman who had five children forgot one in a car, the child died and was jailed and her kids taken from her, another woman had one child and forgot that child in a car,the child died and she walked free.
n i was sayin d same danm thing ..
even he walk free he is not free in the sight of god justice will b served
WE WANT JUSTICE FOR JUSTIN!!!!!!!!!!!

Mano Case Mano Case We want to hear Mano Case
why so long to call that case nah murder wii that case tie
That’s a joke $30,000 bail for murder, What is
going on with the criminal system in Dominica.
Killing in DA is really a joke.
No Law, Including the constitution
jump high jump low this man is gona be set free. when u have somebody who knows somebody such as those haitian to tie up them case there will be excuses on excuses until everything is gona get thrown out.
Dont u know the forces of evil is stronger than the forces of mankind, do u expect for the courts to go and fight evil forces?
Things that are wrong is now right and things that are right is now wrong. Manipulation of the LAW.
the government and these magistrate will be doomed,this guy killed another and the bail is 30,000 shame on you magistrate,that what its come to.
Let justice be done. R.I.P justin A.K.A wase
I HOPE THEY MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF THIS MAN. R.I.P JUSTIN
To bad the name don’t suit u… My drill sergeant said kill or be killed if you try to hurt me I will defend myself to the fullest as I am sure u would have done the same.
That closing line wasnt necessary DNO. You already gave his age in the 2nd paragraph..
?????????????????? don’t understand your comment??? Likeit. The closing line does not speak about the victim’s age. It clearly states that the matter (court matter) came up in the September, 2011 and January, 2012 Assizes. I stand corrected also.
DNO,you must try to get some better photos. This look like 1960’s. Get a camera like the one that was used in Princess Kate’s topless shoot.
Letz see where it goes….Justice?
Time for Mr. to go to jail. Just killed the person child. Everytime I see him strolling around in roseau, I get mad. Just taking a person life like that. TIME FOR JUSTICE. Ma Dyer, you better have all your doucments this time, cuz you know that case is a no win for you, so you always come up with an excuse. All the facts are there, clear as day. Stop making excuses . stupes
I agree my friend. Really dont know what Dominica is getting to. Just killing people children and Lawyers defending them with smart talk and getting away with this. The cry of these children parents are on your hands and head you Lawyers and Magistrates.
“Was never able to get of the ground”?
Definition of the term “get off the ground:” get started or set in motion, used figuratively; “the project took a long time to get off the ground”.
