Concerns remain about 'light' sentence for gun-related offences
More than a week after a St Ann man was given a nine-month sentence for illegal possession of firearm and illegal possession of ammunition, the disquiet and anger among some police officers across the island linger on. Jamar Bartley of Steer Town, St Ann is to only serve one month of his sentence, as he was in custody for eight months prior to pleading guilty. "It is ludicrous for a man to serve just one month in jail for a firearm!" commented one member of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) who asked not to be named for fear of being reprimanded for speaking on the sentence.
