The “five prison years” that Shad Gabriel Orlando Slocombe has so far spent on remand at Dodds is sufficient punishment for having an illegal firearm and ammunition over four years ago.That submission was put forward by Michael Lashley, King’s Counsel (KC) who today pleaded with Madame Justice Laurie-Ann to extend leniency to the convicted man.The 22-year-old Slocombe, of Block 1, No. 5, Country Road High Rise Towers, St Michael had earlier pleaded guilty to having a .32 revolver and five rounds of ammunition on July 18, 2018. He also admitted to supplying the firearm and ammunition.Lashley told the No. 4 Supreme Court that his client deserved a non-custodial sentence considering the long time spent on remand.He told Justice Smith-Bovell that the imposition of a fine was also an option.
