Two inmates of Her Majesty’s Prison at Northward appeared in Summary Court in Grand Cayman on separate charges of possessing ganja.[1] The first to appear was Robert Lewis Terry, 27, who told Chief Magistrate Nova Hall he was not aware of the charge against him.[1] Terry said he was serving nine years in prison.[1] He is accused of having ganja at the prison on 21 August 2012, with no quantity stated in the charge.[1]
Trevino Bodden, 27, was brought into the dock later and said he did not know anything about the charge.[1] Asked about his status in prison, Bodden replied that he was serving two life sentences.[1] The charge alleges that Bodden had ganja at the prison on 1 June 2012, with no quantity given.[1]
Both men were given the prosecution papers and had their matters adjourned until 12 February.[1] Terry had originally been sentenced to 12 years for possessing an unlicensed firearm after an incident at the Caribbean Club in February 2011, and the Court of Appeal reduced the term to nine years the previous summer.[1] Bodden was convicted by a jury of murdering brothers Brenard Scott and Renold Pearson in East End in November 2006, and the Court of Appeal upheld the convictions after arguments in April 2009.[1] The only sentence for murder in the Cayman Islands is imprisonment for life.[1]
