A jury found Shawn Mussington guilty of murder today in the fatal stabbing of his ex-partner, Simone Whyte-Barrington.
Whyte-Barrington, a Jamaican hairdresser, was killed at an event at her workplace on Market and Tanner Streets on November 14, 2020.
During the trial, witnesses described a turbulent relationship between the pair, with Shawn Mussington continuing to make advances despite Whyte-Barrington’s rejection. Mussington testified that he was abused by her and blamed alcohol for his actions, while his lawyer argued the abuse led him to stab her.
Mussington apologised in court, stating he truly loved Whyte-Barrington.
He will remain in custody until sentencing by Justice Tunde Bakre.

It would be difficult for the verdict to go any other way.
The whole matter is sad, but this was a case where he should have taken an early plea. The evidence was stacked way too high against him
All now so, dis still hard to believe. Simone ain’t deserve dat.
Ijust praying for Simone family. No sentence can bring her back.
Mi wonder if he still wah claim ‘battered man syndrome’ now?
Simone spirit can finally rest. Justice done!
He think he could get away? Antigua people done see through di lies.
She was using him. And sleeping with his uncle. Areyou don’t want him but still taking his money.
Aru tap walk and Tek man Fi idiot. Some of you women out there abuse men by using them and then treat them like trash when the woman friends are around. I’m not saying it was right to kill her but alcohol substance can cause you to think and do alot. If you don’t want somebody stop leading them on and stop taking things from them. Simple. Everybody wasnt cut out the same.
If you are arguing battered man syndrome, you must have a judge trial. Regular folks no nothing about that and would only look at who did what and when (at the time this person killed this person and that is how untrained folks, jury, look at things). You do not use these innovative and technically defenses with a jury of your peers in a country where people are not usually educationally advanced.
Plus you need experts (psychologist, victimologist, criminologist, social workers, etcetera) as expert witness more than ever for such defense to have any chance of being successful in a community that is hardly advanced in terms of forensic, science, and legal theories.
I can tell you based on what I know now he was not represented properly, who represented this man? He could have been found not guilty or mitigate murder charges to voluntary manslaughter and mitigate punishment.
Alcohol is a drug and it causes changes in human behaviour when taken in excess. It’s easy to take things to the extreme. One person is dead and another one will probably be imprisoned for life. And we move on to the next human calamity.
Lisa he could have walk away no one was holding a gun to his head and tell him he have to stay with her he had a choice to keep moving or stay .!!
Once again Mr Know it All living in #47 country activated his twitter fingers washing his mouth on Antiguans as if the people were living amongst him is any better. Dude just stay off the internet and watch out before #47 revoked ya visa and deport u
He could have just moved on with his life. Didn’t have to kill her. Some of their mentality is if I can’t have you, then no other person will.
@An idiot blogger,.
Did you really do that ? In your attempt to insult someone else, you refer to yourself as “an idiot blogger”?
So “my way of helping” may not be your kind of person; but he is putting forward ideas and concepts that are not commonly uterterlized in the criminal justice system but not local criminal trials.
There are other legal concepts and tools that could be applied in a trail such as this.
Frequently ideas are put forward to be considered as a young developibg nation.
Just because they are not put forward by Cabinet or as a knee-jerk reaction to a crisis does not mean they are not worth expressing.
He may have gone a little overboard. His going overboard is consistent with the Antigua and Barbuda culture.
No different than your #47 country and Twitter fingers swipe.
Before you attempt to insult, read again before you insult.
I write this knowing that for the most part ANR gets it’s engagement from the eye balls gained from from as you say twiiter finger insults.
So this man who is up in the orange man country is always insulting citizens of Antiguan and Barbuda. Call them dunce stupid and idiots because he can’t buy them out with all of his called wealth and that is cool. If you were to ever read this man comments on here you would get why I use the moniker “an idiot blogger” and why I took a “swipe” at his “Twitter fingers” and #47. Now next time drink your water and mind ya business I didn’t @ you and I called no name. I left a comment as this is the comment section and I’m free to do so.
Idiot Blogger,
You write “Now next time drink your water and mind ya business I didn’t”
Your response is more viseral than interllectual .
I would not carry water for “my way of helping” He certainly can defend himself.
He made the point about criminal defences; pointing out in today’s world, other tools are available for the prosecutor and the defense to use in a murder case.
With increasing crime in Antigua, he is the only person with a legal background who is willing to render an legal opinion when all the other spinless practicing attorneys has nothing to offer the public, by way of educating the public. The overwhelming majority of whom has attended law school at the public’s experience.
In your state of ignorance and stupidity you now want to get offended and Trump is nemesis for your arguments.
References to Trump are meaningless in this case.
We all are the victims of ANR business model, for there are no other outlets of public expression without backlash where we are personally identified.
That is sad indictment of the Antigua and Barduda society, and we are all victims.
So this is my way of helping burner account because why dude why? I didnt @ you but you seem highly offended by my comments you don’t like them scroll pass them. Now bounce and worry about when ICE gonna come knocking on ypur door✌🏾
And what is so fuggee up about this whole things is the prosecution for once won a case against the great Wendell Alexander (formerly Robinson) you would think that braying arse with his two burner accounts would say good job. If that fool would have actually followed the case he would see that the whole battered man syndrome was not an actual defense but a last ditch effort made by the defense attorney to win over the jury after the strong mounting evidence presented by the prosecution. People like you like to sit overseas and wash ya mouth pan Antigua. Next why don’t you get your facts before you come. Now as I earlier advice drink ya water and mind ya business
