DANTE Brooks, son of dancehall deejay Mavado, was found guilty of the 2018 murder
Dante Brooks, the 18-year-old son of Dancehall artist Mavado has been found guilty of murder, according to Dancehall Mag. He is now facing life in prison.
Asked if the defense planned to appeal the verdict, Brooks’ attorney-at-law, Peter Champagnie, replied to DancehallMag with an emphatic: “absolutely!”.
Brooks, 18, was also found guilty of illegal possession of firearm and arson in the Home Circuit Court in downtown Kingston today. His co-accused, Andre Hinds, was also found guilty.
The two were arrested and charged in connection with the grisly killing of Lorenzo Thomas in the St Andrew community of Cassava Piece on June 5, 2018.
The defense team for Brooks opted to have a trial by a judge alone, as opposed to a judge and jury.
