S. Ct. Crim. No. 2011-0101

In an appeal by the People of the Virgin Islands pursuant to 4 V.I.C. § 33(d) from a Superior Court order setting aside the jury's guilty verdict and dismissing a charge against this defendant for unauthorized use of a firearm during the commission of a crime of violence, because an inconsistent verdict is not a sufficient reason for setting aside a verdict, the order of the Superior Court is reversed. The defendant's conviction for unauthorized use of a firearm during the commission of a crime of violence is therefore reinstated.
