A High Court judge has chastised young men convicted of illegally having guns and ammunition for the financial burden they are placing on their families who are paying hefty court-ordered fines.“Not a single case have I seen any of you being able to pay a fine, so you expense your mothers, your sisters, your fathers, the other relatives and friends. You deny your children the financial support they should have by having to pay that fine into the Consolidated Fund. You deny yourselves and your families the opportunity to progress,” Justice Carlisle Greaves said on Friday before slapping Chad Seymour McCollin of Rock Hall, St Thomas, with a $25 000 fine for possession of a semi-automatic 9mm Heckler and Koch firearm and 40 rounds of various calibre ammunition.
