His trial was heard before Justice Adolph Lucas where Tour Guide Rodrick Williams testified that on July 20, 2011 Sanchez abducted him.

Williams took the stand last week and told the court that he was at a tour-guide training course at the ITVET Building on Freetown Road. He said that he left in his taxi and headed toward Belcan Bridge were 2 men stopped his vehicle to hire him for a ride. They asked him to take them to a friend's house near Friendship Restaurant on the Northern Highway, and as they were arriving to the location, one of the men grabbed him around the neck from the backseat.

They forced him into the backseat, and according to Williams, the men told him that they didn't intend to hurt him. He told the court that the men said, quote, "We only want your car to do a mission." End quote.

The men then drove him to Ladyville in his car, against his will, where they picked up another man. While the men drove past Lowe's Superstore, he took and chance and jumped out of the moving vehicle.

Williams said that he was rescued by a man from Ladyville, who took him to the police to make a statement. His vehicle was later recovered by police.

Police investigation led them to Sanchez, who according to them, place himself as an accomplice in the crime in a written statement. He told police that he was indeed in Williams' vehicle, but he left before there was any kidnapping.

Sanchez, who was unrepresented, told the court that police pressured him into giving the statement, so a trial within the trial was held to test the validity of the statement. At the end, Justice Lucas ruled that the statement was admissible, and it was presented to the jury.

After deliberating for a little more than 4 hours, the jury returned with a verdict that he was guilty as charged.
