A US Supreme Court judge in Jamaica ordered that a soldier be hanged after he was found guilty of killing four men inside a nightclub.
Lawyers for 35-year-old Leslie Moodie argued that he was drunk and accidentally shot the men in October 2008.
Attorney Michael Deans said he will appeal against the sentence.
It is unlikely, however, that Moodie will be hanged. No one has been executed in Jamaica for more than two decades.
At least four people besides Moodie are on death row.
