Attorney-at-law Norman Leroy Lynch will spend another five years in prison for swindling hundreds of thousands of dollars from the beneficiaries of a deceased client.Declaring that such behaviour must not go unpunished, Justice Randall Worrell imposed a nine-year starting prison sentence on the lawyer who was convicted of theft and money laundering a year ago. However, with the time Lynch spent on remand and other factors taken into consideration, he only has five more years of that sentence to serve at Dodds Prison.“This court is of the opinion that type of conduct in this matter must be frowned upon and any sentence should also be construed as . . . a measure of protection to the public from these types of matters,” Justice Worrell said as the convicted thief, clad in a dark blue dress shirt and black slacks, stood emotionless in the dock of the No. 2 Supreme Court.
