Man urges magistrate to hurry up with sentencing

A man who appeared to be of unsound mind appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Friday before Magistrate Faith McGusty charged with simple larceny.

Andrew Gonsalves stood next to the docks charged with stealing a BlackBerry Curve on December 31, 2013 at Wellington Street, Georgetown. The phone belonged to Darran Singh.

Gonsalves pleaded guilty to the charge and when asked for an explanation he told the court “wrong place, wrong time”.

The man became increasing impatient as the magistrate was deciding his sentence and urged the magistrate to dispatch a speedy sentence because he wants to “go down the steps”. The man was sentenced to 12 months in prison.
