Last week we told you about the BDF civilian driver who pleaded guilty to knocking down and killing three year old, Jahston Terry in Belize City - while also injuring his 5 year old brother on December 4, 2013.
Hubert Martinez asked the court for mercy last week, and, today, Justice Marilyn Williams showed that when she spared him from a jail sentence.
She fined the 40 year old $2,500 dollars for negligently taking the life of Jahston Terry, and $6,000 for causing his death. The $2,500 will go to the Government of Belize; while the $6,000 will go to the family of the deceased. He was additional order to pay Jahston's older brother, Jaheem Terry $1,500 dollars for his injuries. That's a total fine of $10,000 fine which must be paid in full by August 8, 2018.
Martinez was represented by attorney, Bryan Neal.
