After hearing mitigation pleas Justice Gonzalez noted that Wade has had two previous convictions: one for harm and the other for wounding. He noted also the progression in the severity of the crimes and handed down a sentence of 18 years in prison for Wade. On the night of 28 September, 2003, Wade along went to Lloyd Andrews' home in Lord's Bank Village where he stabbed him in the abdomen just as he opened his door to see who was knocking. The original charge was murder, but that was downgraded to manslaughter.
