Dec 11, 2015 Court Stories, Features / Columnists, News

Yesterday, three men appeared before City Magistrate Faith McGusty and pleaded not guilty to charges of assault.
It is alleged that Quincy Trotman, 26, of 169 Caneview Avenue unlawfully wounded Nikita Lawson in the vicinity of Roxanne Burnham Gardens.
Trotman was also slapped with another charge. Particulars of that charge alleged that on December 9, at Rasville, Roxanne Burnham Garden, he maliciously damaged one partial denture valued at $1,000 belonging to Andrew Lawson.
It is also alleged that Lawson, 43, a mason, of 84 Roxanne Burnham and Ashby Angelo, 35, a security officer, of 46 Roxanne Burnham, assaulted each other. The assault allegedly stemmed from a disagreement they had over Nikita Lawson.
The men, who were not represented, pleaded not guilty to the charges read to them in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Trotman explained that he has no knowledge of the incident and pleaded with the Magistrate to grant him reasonable bail.
The Magistrate placed Lawson and Angelo on $10,000 bail each, while Trotman was placed on $25,000 bail for both offences.
Lawson, in his defence, stated that he was verbally molested by Angelo on many occasions. He explained that on many occasions, Angelo would hurl insulting remarks at him. He added that he became annoyed and retaliated on the day in question. According to Lawson, Pedestrians saw the altercation and alerted the police, who came and apprehended them.
The three men will next appear in court on January 12.
