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.
