A WOMAN who had been previously shot by a former lover ended up in court yesterday charged with using threatening words towards him.
As she stood in the dock of the District “A” Magistrates’ Court, a tearful Seandette Necole Bennett denied the charge that on January 9, she uttered the words: “You believe my child ain’t bathe yet. I hate he. I want somebody to **** kill he. I can’t wait for somebody to kill he. I want to kill he,” within the hearing of Steve Stuart, which caused him harassment, alarm or distress.
Even though the details of the charge were not revealed, the 36-year-old machine operator, of Pickwick Gap, St Michael, told Magistrate Douglas Frederick that Stuart, her child’s father, continually harassed her.
She said since choosing to discontinue the case in which she alleged Stuart shot her, police were ignoring her reports.
“He shot me already, and I drop the charge and now everybody ignoring me,” Bennett said, as she wiped tears from her eyes with a washcloth. “I am to suffer because I drop that charge?
“This man does threaten me every day and he does tell me that if he can’t have me, nobody can’t have me,” she added.
She said that after she kicked Stuart out of the apartment they shared, he rented another apartment situated in the same building.
When Magistrate Frederick asked her if she had ever read the book about the boy who cried wolf, she said she hadn’t.
“Then you should go and read that story,” he told her.
There was no objection to bail and Bennett was released on $1 000 bail. She will return to court on April 17.
