A 36-year-old man convicted in connection with the murder of Georgina (Vivi) Leimonis at a Just Desserts café in 1994 is back behind bars.
Gary Francis, who was convicted of manslaughter and robbery in that case, has been sentenced to seven and a half years in prison on drug-related charges and for refusing to take a breath test.
He served eight years of a 15-year sentence in the Just Desserts case and was paroled in 2005 after receiving credit for time served before the trial.
Leimonis died after she was shot twice in the café by Lawrence Augustus Brown, who’s serving life in prison on a first-degree murder conviction.
Another man charged in connected with the murder, O’Neil Grant, was acquitted and deported to Jamaica. He died there after being shot in November of 2007.
