Ted Armstrong acquitted of murder, guilty of manslaughter
Ted Armstrong
BELIZE CITY, Thurs. Oct. 21, 2010 A jury of 7 women and 5 men deliberated for about 4 ½ hours yesterday in the court of Justice Herbert Lord before it found Ted Armstrong, 34, not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter for the fatal stabbing of Jerome “Jazzi” Longsworth which occurred on the night of July 14, 2006 in Hattieville. The jury’s verdict was unanimous for both charges. The trial judge, Justice Lord, has adjourned sentencing until Friday, October 29 in order to give Armstrong’s attorney, Darrell Bradley, time to prepare a plea for mitigation. The chief witness for the prosecution was Reuben Barrow. Barrow testified that
he was walking on Sylvestre Boulevard when he heard a commotion in the yard where Armstrong’s residence is located. Barrow said when he looked he saw Ted Armstrong fighting with his sister, Rosita Armstrong. Barrow said he that he then met Jerome Longsworth and told him about it. They then went to the yard where the fight was still going on. Longsworth intervened and Ted attacked him with a pair of scissors and stabbed at him. Barrow said Longsworth picked up a line stick to defend himself and continued to run from Ted. Longsworth then sli[pped in a hole and Ted stabbed him in the left side of his neck, said Barrow. Rosita Armstrong and her mother by the same name also testified. According to the younger Rosita, Longsworth, her boyfriend lashed Ted on his back with the line stick. But he did not get to lash Ted again because he slipped in a hole and Ted held on to one end of the line stick and stabbed Longsworth. Ted’s brother, Herbert Armstrong also testified. Ted did not testify nor give a statement from the dock. He remained silent. Crown Counsel Christelle Wilson represented the prosecution. It was her last case as a counsel for the crown. She has left the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions on amicable grounds because she wants to pursue a different career.
