Magistrate gives man extra time to make “sensible decisions”
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.
