QC Teacher homicide trial over, three convictions – two found guilty of murder

Nassau, Bahamas – The trial of the murder of Joyelle McIntosh is over and all three men charged were found guilty of some crime; two unanimously guilty of murdering the woman and conspiring to do so and the third man, found guilty on a lesser charge of manslaughter.

The trial, though over on Tuesday December 12, ended in legally dramatic form with requests for probationary reports and a request for a psychiatric report by the defence attorneys and the prosecutor.  The teenager who was charged with shooting teacher Joyelle McIntosh and the man, believed to have masterminded the ill-fated carjacking of the fourth grade teacher are both found guilty of her November 2015 murder. 

A jury unanimously agreed that two of the three accused did it, the third man getting only eight jurors to believe he was somehow involved in the fatal shooting of McIntosh, a Queen’s College teacher.  Nearly two hours of deliberation and the media reports say, they were done; the 12 jurors finding Johnny Mackey of Bonaby Alley guilty and then 17 year old but now 19 year old Makavelli Tinker responsible for the homicide.

Armando Sergeant of Kemp Road was not guilty of the most serious of offenses: murder according to the jury; he was guilty though on other charges.

All three attorneys for the men accused have moved to have probation reports done.

The reports and psychiatric evaluation of Mackey have been agreed by Justice Bernard Turner who adjourned the matter to March 1, 2018.
