ABSTRACT
In general, a person convicted of any offence upon indictable trial may appeal to the Court of Appeal. He may appeal against conviction, sentence or both. A person who has been found ‘guilty’ by reason of insanity (or not guilty as the case may be in Barbados, Dominica and St Vincent) may now as provided for by statute across the region appeal against this special verdict.5 In addition, s 12 of the Barbados Criminal Appeal Act, Cap 113A enables a person who has been found unfit to plead by a jury to appeal against the finding.
