And going now from high court controversy to low court convictions, Twenty-nine year old Darren Dawson, a Brodies employee, was sentenced to 5 years today by Chief magistrate, Anne Marie Smith after she found him guilty of discharging a firearm in public.
It happened around 5:30 p.m. on May 27, 2013. The main witness, Police Sergeant Keith Clarke, testified that he was standing on the back verandah of his house when he saw Dawson fire shots at another man on Neal Pen Road. The investigators retrieved 14 expended shells from the scene.
Dawson testified and claimed that at the time of the incident he was at his home on Haynes Street watching television. But under cross examination Dawson said he told the police that he was the target, not the shooter. Dawson called 2 witnesses to testify on his behalf but neither of them helped his case.
