Chief Justice Bryan Sykes said former Member of Parliament Jolyan Silvera’s guilty plea to manslaughter came only after careful consideration of forensic evidence, describing it as “more strategic than remorseful”. On Friday, the 54-year-old was sentenced to 20 years and 10 months in prison for manslaughter and 20 years for using a firearm to commit a felony, with both sentences to run concurrently. He is eligible for parole after serving 13 years.
