A High Court judge has expressed amazement that teenager Kevario Shakim Tasheem Griffith has so far racked up a conviction for ammunition and eight for drug offences – all before he is able to vote.
“You can’t vote but you have ammunition? To do what? You can’t vote, you’re not 18 years old but you have ammunition,” Justice Randall Worrell told the 17-year-old in the No. 2 Supreme Court.
“You’re not even able to vote but you have trafficking, cultivation and intent to supply. You have to watch where you are going because, if you don’t, the 59 days that you spent at [Her Majesty’s Prison Dodds] (on remand) are going to catch up with you at some point in time, especially if you come back before the court,” he advised the youngster.
Griffith, of Wilson Hill, St John, was back before the judge for sentencing after he had pleaded guilty on Monday to having two rounds of ammunition on March 22 this year.
