Bandit thanks, blesses judge after sentencing
Imran Ali
Monday, April 30th 2007 from the Trinidad Express
A St Joseph man who pleaded guilty to a string of robbery charges was sent to jail for eight years, and in an unusual response, thanked and blessed the judge who sentenced him.
Elliston Guppy, who began following the Islamic faith while he was in custody awaiting trial, clasped his prayer beads while he was being sentenced by Justice Anthony Carmona.
His attorney, Maria Lyons, said he wanted to "make a clean break" of his criminal past and begin his life afresh.
Guppy, 31, raised his hands in praise to Justice Carmona as he was led out of the Port of Spain Fourth Criminal Court, on his way to starting his jail term.
