Marvin Robinson & Wendell Anthony guilty of beating Brandon George
The teen never had the opportunity to stand in the court of justice in his defense in the matter since he died in a subsequent motorcycle accident but a parent and others did stand in his defense with the hope of justice being served.
“I am betting you that this guilty verdict is only the first chapter in this whole episode but we know that Brandon is a little more comfortable in his grave today because the Magistrate wasn’t easy on them two (the Police Officers) and also the others who lied for them,” the relative went on to say.
The relative said that they are eager to see to what extent the two guilty officers would be sentenced and other possible actions that can be taken to flush out the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) of corrupt officers.
“We have a few weeks to wait and see. Will they be sent to Balsum Ghut? I doubt. Who deep into their pockets will they be made to go to pay for what they did to our boy Brandy,” said the relative who further went on to express that the family is quite sure that the officers will attempt to appeal the decisions of Magistrate Dr John. “They are not from here, they were interdicted but will they be deported back to their county? We don’t know,” added the relative.
As it relates to the testimonies given by two other police officers of the RVIPF who were called by the defence, the Magistrate was not convinced that they told the truth and referred to their testimonies as being well rehearsed especially as they had sufficient time to do so perfectly. Those Police Officers were Smyra Brewley, Job Trumpet and Jacqueline Williams who all testified that they were at the scene.
“We are looking to see how that Commissioner of Police is going to deal with that because they went and lied, they lied, lied, lied and as officers of the law they broke their code of conduct and for that they should be flushed out of the Police Force if they still in there,” said another relative who was becoming very emotional.
“Brandon was who he was, nothing but a teen out there. When they were to help guide and protect him they beat him, lash him in his head with helmet and gun that’s what they did to a teen, two strong police officers that’s what they did to my nephew and to see people who weren’t even there, Police Officers to mind you, who weren’t even there going in the court to say they were there eats the guts out of me. This is why we are saying that this is far from over, Brandon is not around to see and hear all of this but we still feel his pains,” declared the relative.
Sentencing of the two police officers is set for October 30, 2014.

I advised you all to put yourself in that mom's shoe and just try to imagine experiencing what she is experiencing for a half day and see if that's what you would want for yourselves. Your all to wicked, abusing the little power given to you all. Stop! Stop! Go babka and refresh your minds of your job descriptions and rethink what is your purpose in your capacity of work.
