His mother may be paying his fine but Ramon Jamal Payne will be made to sign an agreement saying he will be repaying her every cent.

If he doesn’t follow through with that obligation, he could face prison.

So said Justice Randall Worrell as Payne, of Boscobel, St Peter, returned to the No. 2 Supreme Court yesterday.

The matter was prosecuted by Senior Crown Counsel Olivia Davis, while Angella Mitchell-Gittens represented the gunman. (HLE)
