Nation News "THE 76-YEAR-OLD MAN who shot his neighbour in a dispute over environmental pollution was given a suspended prison sentence when he appeared in the No. 5 Supreme Court.
Gerald Carlton Cox, of Sanford, St Philip, was back before Justice William Chandler after pleading guilty in 2008 to wounding his neighbour Dasrat Sugrim on October 1, 2002.
'This is an offence involving violence and I am satisfied that a custodial sentence is warranted,' the judge said.
However, the judge said he had weighed the mitigating and aggravating factors and had considered the time Cox had spent on remand before imposing the two-year sentence suspended for two years."
