Today, the Court of Appeal handed down its written decision to affirm the murder conviction against 28 year-old Gregory August, who was found guilty of killing 73 year-old Alvin Robison at his home near mile 8. The judgment calls the murder, quote, "incredibly cowardly" because August had only one eye, stood five feet five inches and was physically challenged.
But all that didn't matter to his killer who stabbed him 9 times in the face and neck. On November 21, 2012, August was convicted by a jury of murder, and he was sentenced to life in prison.
He appealed his case to the court of Appeal, and after consideration the panel of Judges dismissed the appeal, so August must continue to serve his sentence in jail.
He was represented by Attorney Anthony Sylvestre.
