Episode Details

Prosecutors in the Bahamas are challenging a judge’s lenient three-year probation sentence for 21-year-old Kenneth Hanna Jr., who admitted to manslaughter in the 2021 death of 17-year-old Ashton McPhee. The case, which unfolded at Arawak Cay, involved a fight where Hanna allegedly used a knife in self-defense after McPhee attacked him. The prosecution, seeking 15–30 years, argues the sentence doesn’t reflect the gravity of the crime, while Judge Williams deemed Hanna a low-risk offender unlikely to reoffend. The appeal, set for July, could reshape how self-defense and youth are weighed in Bahamian criminal justice.
