As a result, gunman Pearson Antonio Bayne was ordered by the Court of Appeal to continue serving the five years, 320 days of a ten-year sentence he got for having an illegal gun and ammunition.
Bayne, of Nursery No. 2, Four Roads, St Philip, had pleaded guilty to having a .38-calibre Smith and Wesson revolver and six rounds of ammunition in his possession on February 25, 2020, and had been sentenced to ten years in prison for the offences.
