Last week, the Senior Courts of Belize rolled out new sentencing guidelines to help determine jail time for convicted criminals. Defense attorneys are giving these guidelines a thumbs up. Earlier today, Home Affairs Minister Kareem Musa, who is also an attorney, shared his thoughts on the matter.

“That is something that, I think, is going to yield great dividends in terms of certainly getting more convictions and definitely leading the way forward, in terms of what to expect when it comes to sentencing. I know that is being well received, especially from the defense counsel at bar. And so, looking forward to that, moving forward, I think we can expect good results from that.”
