Goodwill resident, Andy Alexander Cassell, is now facing a huge fine of $37,500 after he pleaded guilty to wounding with intent.
The fine was slapped on him when he appeared in court on Monday.
$30,000 of the fine will go towards compensation to the victim, Brent Blaize.
Cassell has until March 25 to pay the compensation package or he will spend nine months in jail.
The remaining $7,500 has to be paid in six months or Cassell will be sent to jail for two years.
In mitigating attorney, David Bruney, said his client has had a turn around in his life shows “remorse” and wants to walk the “straight and narrow path of the law.”
But his plea fell on deaf ears and the fines were imposed.
Back to life, back to reality
No more room for trouble or fuss
Need a change, a positive change look
Look it’s me writing on the wall
BACK TO LIFE, BACK TO REALITY
Let’s end this foolish game
Hear me out, Make up your mind so I know where I stand
real man don’t back down
Ain’t nobody paying fines, the first thing these young guys say is ”I just doin you something and go Stocky and sit down!” What a joke our justice system is when people know before hand that their actions will remain unchecked.
why is on my new’s you have to right and come and say what you want. go on air and talk about your self and your frined’s for you to right on my andy all you dom dominican’s one i better den you so
stupes…….that’s a lesson to learn,andy I surprise at u g.

don’t forget smoke pig lol
you mean dont for get you pig you have to be the pig if you dont want to be forget lol on that hate ot love i self going to be better den you in life so run you
I believe this guy should be in jail along time ago. See what he did to mr Nasser a few years ago . This guy is not from goodwill but living there for a while now. They change Murphy’s lane bad by sellling drugs in that triangle house next to the new bypass.
Who is this judge in Dominica these punishment that is past down make no sense…. he or she need to go really….
I paying the $7,500.00 and take the 9 months inside we. Trust me.
i just use de 7000 dollar’s hahaha i worry with all you dominican’s all you people is a waste of my time get a life do something with all you self and i Andy Cassell say: i love money how the hell i can give all you people my dam money ……$$$
Andy we went to Primary School together, but no longer talk. we pass each other straight on the road like we are enemies, we had no problems. saw you pleaded guilty, that’s good in taking responsibility for your actions, do what you have to do to pay your fine and move on. Ask God for forgiveness and stay close to him because the devil is a lair .
ONLY if drug offenders would get some time too
dat juge cannot juge 30000.00 or 9 months jail, any body would prefer go jail
I agree. up stocky for me and savings in check.20 discount on crime,i eh wasting my money.no law in da.
Sometimes I just have to laugh at Mr Bruneys comments. At least that’s what he gets paid for.
you see life i not sayin wat the youn man did was right yes he got a fine and a heavy one for woundin with intent ,what about the layou man dat had 6 charges and got only 8yrs,jah d justice system just not fear, what edmund do was woundin with intent 6 times.
The average person makes $20,000,00 a year in Dominica. Why would I pay $30,000.00 when I only have to do 9 months in jail. No justice in Dominica
I would really like to know what is the rational or benchmark they use to come up with those fines and confines. $30000- 9 months jail but for $7500, 3 yrs jail!!!! I am not legally minded but this does not seem to me as a proper administration of justice.
He ought to use his common sense. I for sure would check-in in stocky and eat red beans and provision for the nine months and leave my lord savings in place.
Don’t do the crime then.
When he “wounded with intent” obviously he was not thinking of the repercussions. If the judges in Dominica handed out tougher punishment, then maybe these individuals would think twice before committing crimes of any nature. You’re concerned about the perp, what about the victim?
