Suspended sentence for man who illegally sold car to amputee
Dorian Dolan Hunter was given an 18-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, on Friday, 26 Sept., after he pleaded guilty to theft for illegally selling an amputee a car for which he still owed money to the Credit Union.
The Credit Union later repossessed the vehicle, leaving its buyer, who had recently had his leg amputated, with no means of transport, the court heard.
According to the summary of facts in the case, referred to by Grand Court Justice Cheryll Richards, KC, in February 2023, on Cayman Brac, where both men live, Hunter sold the purchaser a Honda vehicle for $14,000.
Hunter, 43, provided the buyer with a certificate of vehicle ownership “which gave no indication that the vehicle had a lien or financial encumbrance”. In addition, Hunter signed a written bill of sale, drafted by the purchaser, “which represented that the vehicle was unencumbered”, Richards said.
