The Court of Appeal has reserved its decision on whether the 14-year sentence given to Tyson Leon Edwards for aggravated burglary was “manifestly excessive” as his attorney has argued.When the matter came up before the trio of Justice Rajendra Narine, Justice Jefferson Cumberbatch and Justice Francis Belle, the appeal judges indicated they needed time to consider whether the approach of the sentencing judge was correct.Edwards had been given a starting sentence of 19 years for two counts of aggravated burglary. However, after deductions were made, he was left with a 14-year prison sentence.He was also given lesser prison terms for offences of firearm and ammunition possession, unlawful wounding, and handling stolen property. However, those sentences run concurrently.
