A MAN convicted of the killing of a businessman has been given more time to lodge his appeal against the verdict and subsequent sentence.

There was no objection by Crown prosecutors to giving Jamal Glinton and his attorneys Erika Darr and Krystal Saunders more time to appeal the conviction and sentence of 57 years in prison.

The case was adjourned to November 5 where Glinton returns to court for a status hearing.

Glinton, in his third trial, was unanimously convicted of the murder by a jury on April 5, 2012.

He was sentenced to 57 years in prison by Justice Roy Jones less than a month later, April 30.

Glinton was claimed to be the gunman who shot Keith Carey, as he had been attempting to deposit $40,000 at the Bank of the Bahamas in Tonique Williams Darling Highway February 27, 2006.

He had been charged along with Dwight Knowles and Sean Brown, who were unanimously convicted and sentenced for robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.

However, Glinton’s conviction was quashed in the Court of Appeal.
