Hezekiah Parker Jr
Hezekiah Parker Jr entered a guilty plea to cannabis possession charges and will learn his fate next month when he appears for sentencing.
Parker appeared before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel today in connection with his arrest on June 1, when police discovered 127 grams of cannabis valued at $1,270 during a search of his residence.
The court scheduled his sentencing hearing for October 6.
Police executed a search warrant at Parker’s home where they discovered the cannabis along with cash. He was subsequently arrested and charged in connection with the findings.
Parker has remained on bail since his initial arrest and charging.
Small matters. Just fine the man and let him be on his way
So arrests are being made for possession of a God given plant but not many for the numerous robberies, burglaries, batteries, assaults, attempted murders? And I couldn’t care less if he was selling it. Heck, everyone doesn’t have a green thumb. Alcohol is sold with impunity and does more damage in my humble opinion.
So this menace to society is out on bail, charged with mere possession? He was arrested a few months ago for allegedly stabbing an innocent bystander in the neck!!!!! How come he out on bail ???? The Police Force is clearly one corrupt institution. Ex-PM Balwin what say you now that this perp hails from the womb of one of your vociferous supporters. Corruption across the board! Black or “other”, rich or poor, red or blue, adult or picknee…. Oh what a country……
Stabbed an innocent bystander??? Please STFU
Hope the judge goes easy on him. Cannabis shouldn’t be treated like some big criminal offence.
People being sentenced fast for drugs but all these killing cases taking years to get over…… hahaha
All the officers concerned about is drugs,when there is so much robbery going on.See how close is sentencing is but the police officer case is yet to be called
Drugs is treated like a so big crime in this place. It’s killing me
Too many young people are getting caught up with drugs. It might seem small now, but it can lead to bigger problems
Cannabis has been proven to have medical and economic benefits. Time to modernize our laws.
Herb is part of our culture. Instead of punishing people, government should legalize and regulate
