Woodhouse jailed for 13 years in bar room stabbing
(CNS): Jonathan Alexander Woodhouse (29) from Bodden Town has been sentenced to 13 years in prison for wounding with intent in regards to a violent attack at the Carib Cafe last year where one man was killed. Woodhouse was one of three men who were tried for the murder of Randy Kelsey Robinson, but he was acquitted of that charge. However, he was found guilty of stabbing another man with a 12-inch blade during the bar room brawl, which the crown said was provoked by Woodhouse and his co-accused.
Woodhouse, a father of two young children, has a long list of previous convictions, including violent offences, which aggravated the sentence handed down by Justice Marlene Carter this week.
Woodhouse had stabbed his victim in both arms and one of the wounds in his left bicep required 18 stitches. As she outlined the reasons for her decision, the judge said the man’s wife, who was with him when he was stabbed, had to help him from the club, “bloodied and afraid” after the violent ordeal, which they are both still struggling to deal with.
Justice Carter said a social inquiry report found that Woodhouse has a high risk of reoffending as he was not deterred by his previous time in prison and had not applied the lessons learned from his previous ten convictions. “This was a serious offence,” the judge noted as she handed down the 13-year term.
Earlier this year, Shaun Antonio Jackson (23), one of Woodhouse’s co-defendants, was given a life tariff of 31 years in prison for Robinson’s murder. The third defendant in the case, Matthew Stefan Glasgow, was acquitted of all charges.

Born here doesn’t make one Caymaian.
Awwwww. He felt disrespected so he gonna teach the man a lesson by killing him. Poor fellow.
One question loser, what have you ever done in your life to earn respect? Zip, zilch nada.
Watching too many scarface movies.
Just remember, there is always someone who is bigger, meaner. tougher so get over yourself chump.
How can he get13 years yet Justin Jackson get 14 for murder? Lets be honest thats what it was
1:31 pm, very true and correct should be in the law. Too many criminal from every one where.
We need to revisit and review our complete sentencing guidelines
Hopefully followed by deportation. Shame that Cayman legislation does not dictate that WP, Status and PR holders must be deported to serve their sentences in their own countries. Why should Cayman have to bare financial responsibility for the incarceration of these miscreants?
The problem is,1:31, that despite your apparent view to the contrary, legally…LEGALLY (you understand that word, right?) a “status holder” is a Caymanian so it’s not quite so simple as you would like.
Status should be revoked in cases where the recipient has abused the privilege of being granted Caymanian status.
The same would apply to any guest in my house that abused my hospitality.
i agree with you 100
So does the law. It’s only certain lawyers that seem not to.
Oh come now, our honourable folk need these peeps around, fridges for wotes and all dat 😉
When was the last time you heard of persona non grata or read it in the Gazette?
Depends on how May votes his family and friends represent.
Many years has passed and not one has been deemed Persona non grata.
Where is he going to be deported to? He born here……..
That’s his problem to figure out.
7.50am Born here doesn’t make you Caymanian.
He should have gotten more
Really bad egg
Cayman legislation does dictate it, in the Immigration (Transition) Act. We just don’t follow it with any consistency.
