Rodriguez gets five years

(CNS): Tonie Miguel Rodriguez has received a five year sentence for the manslaughter by reason of provocation of Aaron William Berry at the Everglo Bar in Bodden Town on 23 February 2008. Berry died after he was stabbed in the neck during a fight, which reportedly started after he broke a bottle on Rodriguez’s head. Berry received two superficial knife wounds but the third severed a vein and he died after driving himself to George Town. Rodriguez gave himself up to the Police when he learned of Berry’s death. The plea has raised controversy in the community, particularly from Berry’s family.
