Men involved in Wotten Waven fight drop charges

Four men from Wotten Waven escaped conviction after they decided not to provide evidence against each other in court today.

Miguel Xavier, Nelson St Jean, Samuel George and Sherwin George all appeared before Magistrate Candia George Tuesday morning where they were charged with wounding and battery.

The men were reportedly involved in a fight on May 30 in Wotten Waven.

“All of us act foolishly sometimes. I just want them (St Jean and Xavier) to leave me and my brother (Sherwin) alone,” Samuel George told the court.

Samuel George was a defendant and also complainant on charges of battery and wounding against Nelson St Jean.

“Did anybody beat you or promise you anything? You are doing this voluntarily that’s what you want to do?”  Magistrate Candia George asked of the men.

The prosecution decided not to provide any facts in the matter.

    That’s great. It’s good to see people resolve their differences and not waste time in court. It’s also good to abide in unity with each other as Christ commanded. Well Done!
