Man Gets off Murder of Stepfather
posted (April 30, 2018)
He spent 7 years on remand for the brutal murder of his 72 year old step-father, Reginald Rowley, but, tonight, 31 year old Amir Dominguez is a free man. He was acquitted of all charges inside the Orange Walk Session of the Supreme Court this morning.

The ruling delivered by Judge Herbert Lord came more than two months after closing arguments were made on February 27th, by both the defense and the crown.

In the trial without jury, Justice Lord found that there were serious inconsistencies in the case against Dominguez along with contradictory and sparse evidence.

He concluded that the Crown was unable to convince the court that Dominguez was in fact the one who caused the death of Reginald Rowley Sr. With that he found Amir Dominquez not guilty of the murder which occurred on December 24th 2010.

There was no witness to the killing where Rowley was badly beaten and left for dead. The only suspect at the time was his step-son Amir Dominguez.
