| Corrections director fined $500 for civil contempt of court |

A judge on Monday ordered the director of the V.I. Corrections Bureau and its attorney to personally pay fines in connection with civil contempt of court charges that they failed to follow court orders to have a prisoner present for a scheduled hearing earlier this year. Corrections Director Julius Wilson and Assistant Attorney General Kenrick Robertson, who is assigned to the V.I. Corrections Bureau, had originally been scheduled to face civil and criminal contempt charges in a bench trial that had been set for Monday. Instead, they reached agreements with special prosecutor Britain Bryant to admit responsibility for the matter under the civil contempt statute in exchange for the criminal matter being dismissed. On Monday, Wilson and Robertson accepted responsibility for civil contempt, and V.I. Superior Court Judge Robert Molloy ordered Wilson to personally pay a $500 fine and Robertson to personally pay a $100 fine by Jan. 4. Attorneys for both men said they plan to petition the court for expungement of the criminal matter entirely. The contempt case stems from a resentencing hearing that was scheduled earlier this year for Jalani Williams, who along with two other men was convicted in connection with a 2009 shooting outside a Castle Coakley restaurant that left one man, Almonzo Williams, dead and two others wounded. Jalani Williams had been convicted of first-degree murder; first-degree assault; unauthorized possession of a firearm during a violent crime; and reckless endangerment and was sentenced to life in prison plus 40 years. In November 2013, the V.I. Supreme Court remanded Jalani Williams' case back to V.I. Superior Court for resentencing. The territory's high court found that because Williams was 16 at the time of the crimes, the case should be remanded back to the Superior Court for resentencing in light of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision that a sentence of "mandatory life without parole for those under the age of 18 at the time of their crimes violates the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishments."
