The boy who stabbed a schoolmate in the neck eight years ago has been sentenced.
For unlawfully and maliciously wounding Gentris Williams on November 12, 2015, Terelle Tyrese Rogers was ordered to pay $3 500 in compensation to his victim – $2 000 of it immediately, and the remainder within the next four months. If he is unable to do so, he will have to spend 1 249 days (three years, 154 days) in prison.
Further, Justice Anthony Blackman ordered that Rogers be under the auspices of the Probation Department, which will assist him with anger management programmes and drug counselling. The court is to be furnished with a report at the end of each year.
Rogers, of 2nd Avenue Station Hill, St Michael, was 16 at the time and both he and Williams were students of Daryll Jordan Secondary School. After a jury found him guilty earlier this year, he was remanded to prison until yesterday, when he returned home. (SD)
