Cheque story clarified

IN the June 26 News, a story was published
chronicling the sentencing of a man who plead-
ed guilty to using bad cheques.

Crown lawyer Veda Kenda presented the judge with the
agreed facts oft the case and the Crown’s position of no jail for
the offences. But Kenda was not the lawyer who decided that
the Crown would not request jail.

‘Another Crown lawyer, in discussions with the accused
_ man, suggested that if the man “waived in” all of his out-
standing (criminal ) _) mitters from other courts, the Crown
would not seek 4 ail sentence. Kenda was bound by the other
Crown lawyer’s di discussions.
