A young man facing gun and ammunition charges made an application for his matters to be fast-tracked to the High Court on his first appearance before the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court on Friday.“Ma’am, I can beg for a paper committal to go to the High Court? I don’t want to waste the court’s time. I am willing to plead guilty, Ma’am,” Kerrie Shaquille Thompson said to Magistrate Alison Burke.The 27-year-old labourer of Block 14 Field Place, Bayville, St Michael made the comment after the magistrate informed him that he could not plead to the indictable charge of having a firearm in his possession on December 31, 2022, without a valid licence to do so.
