Ramiro de la Rosa
Today, Chief Magistrate Sharon Fraser granted a stay of execution in the case of Ramiro De la Rosa. He was sentenced earlier this month after police searched his home in Duck Run Two community and rounded him and his wife up for a loaded shotgun that was licensed to his recently deceased father. De la Rosa, who was ill-advised, pleaded guilty to possession of unlicensed firearm and ammunition, was sentenced the same day to three years imprisonment. His sentence has drawn outrage from residents in the Cayo community who thought it was too harsh. Attorney Orson Elrington now represents De la Rosa filed an appeal of the sentence. Elrington updated us on what happened in court today.
