ST. THOMAS — Three violent criminals will be sentenced on Wednesday at the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands here, sentences that will be looked at closely as the Mapp administration’s Dept. of Justice seeks to put these individuals behind bars.
Sentencing hearings are set for the following individuals on Wednesday:
Shaheid Maynard at 10:30 a.m. Mr. Maynard accepted a closed plea agreement and pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in connection with the May 23, 2016 shooting death of Vershawn Monsanto in the area of the Oswald Harris Court Housing Community.
C’Quan Celestine at 11:00 a.m. Mr. Celestine was convicted on May 24 of shooting a woman in the face and leaving her for dead.
Winston Carter at 11:30 a.m. Mr. Carter accepted a closed plea deal and confessed to the April 19, 2016 shooting of Shashi Seetram in the parking lot of a church in the area of Altona.
“We look forward to sentencing day tomorrow to present our case to the honorable judge as to the appropriate term of imprisonment for each defendant,” Attorney General Claude Walker told The Consortium Tuesday night.
All three hearings will be presided over by V.I. Superior Court Judge Michael Dunston.
