A trip to the National Stadium by five teenagers ended in one of them being shot, and criminal gun charges being laid against two of them recently. Two teenaged boys, Dashawn McKenzie, 15 years old and Omar Pryce, 19, had their case transferred to the High Court Division of the Gun Court when they appeared before RM A. Nembhard on April 10, 2015.

A man who chopped his brother inflicting injuries that needed 28 stitches in his head and hand appeared in the Spanish Town Resident Magistrates' court earlier this week.   The man, Glenroy Paisley, attempted to attribute his violent actions to a spliff.    Allegations read were that on February 3, 2015 Glenroy went to the home of his brother and called him. Upon answering, Glenroy demanded the wallet, keys and cellular phone from his brother, Valroy Paisley. Before this could be done, the accused used a machete to chop him on the left hand and at the top of his head.   He reportedly told the cops : "Officer a mi bredda mi nuh know why mi chop him".   The complainant was admitted in the Spanish Town Hospital for one month where he received 21 stitches to his hand and 7 stitches in his head.   When asked by RM A. Nembhard why he chopped his brother, he responded:  "Your honour is a man give me a spliff and mi smoke it and a ting jus cum ova mi and mi go chop mi bredda".   His case will be mentioned on May 5, 2015 as his file is incomplete and fingerprinting ordered for the accused.
