Pennyfeather Confirms Omari Phillip’s Release After Successful Appeal

Lieutenant Colonel Trevor Pennyfeather has confirmed the release of Omari “Boots” Phillip from His Majesty’s Prison following a successful appeal.

Phillip, initially sentenced to 25 years for the 2012 murder of Dominican pump attendant Dorothy Prince, successfully had his conviction reduced to manslaughter.

As a result, his sentence was revised to six years, five months, and 13 days, allowing for his release on Friday, November 15.

Phillip had pursued several educational programs during his incarceration, including courses at the University of the West Indies Five Islands Campus, the Lifelong Learning Unit, and the Guard Center.

Pennyfeather noted Phillip’s participation in these programs and described him as being prepared for reintegration into society.

Prince was fatally shot on February 17, 2012, during an armed robbery at her workplace involving Phillip and three accomplices.

The case garnered significant attention due to the involvement of Phillip’s accomplices, including a former Defense Force soldier and a police constable. One accomplice, Dion Thomas, is now deceased.
