On Thursday, Jason Renaldo Ashton declared his head was hot and that was why he told a man “what I had to tell him”.

Yesterday, he railed at the “unfairness” meted out to him and declared: “I feel I gine kill myself.”

Ashton was back in the District “A” Magistrates’ Court yesterday, after he appeared initially on Thursday.

The 31-year-old, of Brittons Hill, St Michael, admitted he used a computer to send the electronic comment: “I want you to stop messaging my phone, you f****** idiot or let me come and pelt some bullets through your house,” on July 31, and he intended to cause or was reckless as to whether he caused annoyance, inconvenience and distress.
