Thank God, the term “consecutively” has been revived in the sentencing orders of presiding judges/magistrates!! What a relief!
So what were the offences? this is like half a story
Good! At least the court finally giving out real time for these crimes. Too much larceny going on lately — people stealing everything from handbags to hospital property. Twenty-three months sound fair if he really admit what he do
Justice served. Actions have consequences maybe this will make others think twice.
Hospital again? Imagine robbing people at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre! That’s low, man. The place where sick people trying to heal, and he out there thieving. Them kinda crime deserve hard sentence, for real.
These stories getting too common. We need to address what’s driving all this stealing. Atleast justice was served
