A MAN, convicted of killing a businessman during a hold up outside a bank, will challenge the Supreme Court verdict and subsequent sentence in January next year in the Court of Appeal.

Jamal Glinton, alias “Bumper”, appeared in the Appeals Court yesterday morning when January 17 w as set as the date of his appeal against conviction and sentence to 57 years in prison.

Glinton, in his third trial, was unanimously convicted of the murder by a jury on April 5, 2012.

He was sentenced to 57 years in prison by Justice Roy Jones on April 30, less than a month later.

It was claimed that Glinton was the gunman who shot Keith Carey, as Carey attempted to deposit $40,000 at the Bank of the Bahamas on Tonique Williams Darling Highway on February 27, 2006.

He had been previously charged with Dwight Knowles and Sean Brown, who were unanimously convicted and sentenced for robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.

However, Glinton’s conviction was quashed in the Court of Appeal.

On October 4 – Glinton’s last appearance before the court — he had asked the court for more time to lodge his appeal against the verdict and subsequent sentence.

There was no objection by Crown prosecutors to giving Glinton and his attorneys, Erika Darr and Krystal Saunders, more time to appeal the conviction and sentence. Glinton’s substantive hearing is set for January 17, 2013.
