As the court gets ready to re-sentence two former condemned killers, a friend and relative of one of them, Clyde Anderson Grazette, says Grazette is ready to re-enter society.

The 55-year-old Grazette, formerly of St Stephen’s Hill, Black Rock, St Michael, has been on death row since 2006 after being sentenced to hang for murdering 18-year-old Roseanne Griffith between May 19 and 20, 2001.

Character witness Edwin Alleyne, who said he has known Grazette from the time they were children, said he visited him on many occasions in prison before visits were curtailed by COVID-19.

“When I go to visit him, he seems very calm and cool and he desires to have a different outlook on life and a desire to get back into society and contribute to society,” Alleyne told the No. 3 Supreme Court yesterday.

“I think that what has happened to him, he has shown remorse and he would like to be back in society to contribute to society,” he added. (HLE)
