Kicking Philip Pynn following HMP riot earns inmate more jail time
Devon Dominix, 22, sentenced to 5 more months for stomping on inmate during chapel riot
A man who stomped on Philip Pynn following a riot and targeted attack inside Her Majesty's Penitentiary last year has been sentenced to five more months in jail.
Devon Dominix, 22, was sentenced in St. John's provincial court Tuesday afternoon to eleven months in jail, but with time-served, will spend five months in jail.
He'll be on probation for one year following the completion of his sentence.

Dominix went to the jail's chapel last February and sat next to the reported target of the attack, Kenny Green, but did not take part in the riot.
Once Pynn, who is accused of taking part in the riot and assaulting Green, was restrained by correctional officers outside the chapel, Dominix kicked him in the head.
A correctional officer, who took the stand at the trial for three men who've since been found guilty of taking part in the riot, testified that Dominix had helped Green.
The officer identified Dominix in a second security video as the man stomping on Pynn's head.
The three men who have been convicted of the riot, which left Green severely beaten and stabbed with homemade knives, have not been sentenced yet.
Pynn's case was severed from the others and is still making its way through the courts.
