Two young men got lucky on Friday when they avoided being remanded to prison after missing their court dates.Contending that he had witnessed too many people in the last two weeks failing to turn up to court on the right days, Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes initially told assault accused Edgrick Livingstone Yearwood and alleged thief Jeremy Che Weekes that he was going to make “an example out of them”.When they reappeared in the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court and were asked why they did not make their scheduled court appearances, Yearwood told Magistrate Weekes he had forgotten his date. He said he had also contacted his surety who did not know the date either.
