Magistrate gives man extra time to make “sensible decisions”

Magistrate Tamia Richards instructed Mr. Gabriel to discuss the case information with family before making any harsh decisions.
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – Ricardo Gabriel, who was accused of breaking into a Cane Garden Bay apartment back in 2010, has been given time by Magistrate Tamia Richards to discuss his case with his family.

Gabriel appeared before the Magistrate’s Court today, May 16 2012, to answer charges of handling stolen goods and burglary.

His lawyer Patricia Archibald-Bowers disclosed to the court that on numerous attempts to contact the defendant, he failed to keep any appointments made. She then stated that she is withdrawing from the case.

Crown Counsel Jude Hanley told Magistrate Richards that evidence from the complainant and the statement he gave to the police is present and she is eager to for the case to be dealt with as soon as possible, being that it stems all the way from 2010.

Magistrate Richards instructed Mr. Gabriel to collect the papers with information on his case and discuss them with his family members before making any harsh decisions.

Ms. Richards said she is giving Mr. Gabriel enough time to get everything in order so that his decisions may be the right one.

His case was adjourned until July 12, 2012.

    If he couldn't show up for appointments then he deserved to have a warrant issued for him and have his butt behind bars!

      Can't lock him up if he doesn't consult with his lawyer and he did however attend court so no warrant would be issued to compel attendance. He needs to realize how serious the charges against him are and sort out himself!
