After admitting to the theft of a case of empty bottles from the Marpin 2k4 building in Roseau, Michael Casimir was sentenced to 10 days in prison.
According to the facts of the case presented the police prosecutor, Casimir was caught at the back of the building with the stolen items by police moments after the theft. He was then charged and appeared before Chief Magistrate Evelina Baptise this morning.
According to the court, the security guard, who was assigned at the building, saw the defendant take the said case of bottles and walked away with it. The guard then called the police who caught up with the defendant behind the building.
The case of bottles was recovered and ordered to be restored to the owner.
don’t you think they should set up some sort of camp in the interior to start some sort of rehab program for these guys who are petty thives.the money could be well spend in that aspect .
WHAT A DOGGONE SHAME!!! …. ITS EVEN AN EMBARASSMENT TO SEE IT AS A NEWS HEADLINE AFTER ALL….JAH WHAT ISTHIS WORLD COMING TOO…LMAO..HMM
I know that cannot be Paper-T so they should put the person details like age and from where because my boy would never do that.
People you all need to analyze a situation before commenting…The only reason that he was sentenced to 10 days in prison is because he has a litany of similar charges and chief Magistrate Evelina Baptiste thought that he doesn’t learn and maybe spending some time behind bars would actually work. Yes he’s paro and for those of you who are thinking its my beloved paper T it’s not. It’s actually a 45 year old man from Kingshill
OH my gosh ten days for an empty case of bottles ?can understand he did not ask for it but thats just wasting tax payers money . could let him clean around town for ten days give him some sort of work to do but not prison thats just nonesence .
Isn’t this the same magistraste who does let gunrunning, drugsmuggling bandits back on the streets after madistrate Tyani Benzanzin send them up Stocky, yet she could send someone up for a case of empty bottles? This is really ridiculous! They need to get rid of this sad excuse for a magistrate!
Now we can safely say that *lack of space in the prison is due to these foolish jail sentences*.
There is no space yet stil any little petty crime its a jail sentence.
is’nt there any other punishment????
leave the jail space for more henious crimes, such as murder, fraud, rape griviousl bodily harm, drug trafficking ect ect..stop crowding up the already over crowded prison with this mundane jail sentences.
I suggest a correctional facility should be built for crimes of such nature
My people its time that we wake up from that dream, the man got wat he deserved, theft is theft it don’t matter if is just empty bottles. if we are promoting such behavior then i must come to the conclusion that we dont love our country. crime of any nature should not be encouraged but instead we should be happy to see that our court have realized that criminals need to be put in the places wer they belong. jail all the thief and criminals , keep Dominica free of criminals.
WHAT A COMPLETE WASTE OF TAX PAYERS MONEY!!! INSTEAD HAVE THE MAN PAY $500 PUT THAT TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COUNTRY.THE MAN GOING JAIL GETTING 3 MEALS A DAY FROM OUR HARD EARNED MONEY. BULLS***!!!
AND MY FELLOW DOMINICANS THATS NOT POLITICS RELATED!DON’T BE SILLY.WAS SKERRIT IN THE COURTROOM WHEN MAGISTRATE BAPTISTE MADE THIS SILLY DECISION?? THINK ABOUT IT.
where the government coming in..in that na people…. ALL U SERIOUS MAN WHERE THE GOVERNMENT COMING IN IN FLETCHING THAT OH SHAIT MAN
dat can never b paper T an imposter
some ppl doh understand is not d type of item stolen u going to jail 4 but infact u going for d crime which in this case is stealing.so it dosent matter if it is empty bottles it is still stealing
i’m just wondering if it is a paro that steal those bottles, because it sound so to me. these are the ways our tax dollars a being wasted, by sending a man to prison for ten days, don’t the judge realize that she is placing more pressure on the prison, why didn’t she give him some comunity service to do, because the had retrive the empty case. this is a petty case and should be delt with in a mor appropriate manner.
TO ME THATS NONESENSE, I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE GOTTA SPEND 10 DAYS IN PRISON FOR STEALING SOME EMPTY BOTTLES. I was looking at cops lastnight on trutv. Some guys where caught stealing a bicycle and because it was under $80.00 they were not jailed. Sometimes we have to be discrete
NAWWWWW C’MON!!!! YALL
so why the security guard couldnt handle it himself instead of wasting the police time and tax payers money??????
The policemen themselves charged should be charged for wasting the courts time and public funds. The judge herself had nothing better to do? She should take a time out. Gush man Such stupid news.
when mister come from stockie tell him i have plenty bottles by me so come for them, dont steal. All drain in the city full of bottles.
Isn’t there some other type of punishemnent – like road side cleaning , gabage disposal etc. This guy is about to check in to a hotel for 10 days free.
Empty bottles? give the man a dam break. Is this taking us to the next level. Yea way down below.
This is getting ridiculous.
Has the government looked at the cost to the state to procecute and house the inmates for these petty crimes?
There has to be a better way to deal with these petty issues without having to resort to jailing these people. This is getting ridiculous.
lmao a empt case of bottle u goin jail for, so many bottles dat in town .
