They were also accused of robbing Warde of $400,000 and US$700.The case against Primo was discontinued. However 41-year-old Abrams will spend the next five years of his life in prison.The convict’s alibi fell through the cracks in the case against him when Prosecutors cross examined his girlfriend. According to Abrams he was at home with his girlfriend watching a movie on television called “Soul Food” at 20:00hrs. The woman,Cheap NHL Jerseys, who claimed Abrams spent the entire day with her,http://www.soccerpro.us.com/AC-Milan-FC/, gave evidence that she saw the movie.But Prosecutors said that her failure to recall what the movie was about on such a significant day,Nike Air Max 2018 Mens Shoes, gave way to a crack in the case.Prosecutors are satisfied that the case against Abrams was also solid based on the testimony of Rayburn Fraser. In his statement Fraser said he personally knew his perpetrator as “Blackee” and as someone he would trade his gold and foreign currency with.In his evidence he said that on the day of the robbery he saw Abrams at close range and there was adequate light for him to positively identify him when he threatened to kill him if he didn’t hand over the bag of cash.The court also took into consideration Fraser’s demeanor when he said he was fearful for his life when Abrams pushed his AK rifle in his belly and relieved him of his currency.Before his client’s final sentencing, Abrams’ solicitor argued that other reasons should be taken into consideration, that Fraser and Abrams were familiar with each other prior to the offence. “Mr. Abrams lives a decent and respectful life,” the lawyer said.He also asked for other factors to be taken into consideration to deal with the matter accordingly.However, the Magistrate stated that she considered the public’s safety, the seriousness of the offence and the penalty it attracts. She also stated that the penalty should act as a deterrent for future criminals since this attack was plotted with other persons.The Prosecutor had no antecedents and Abrams was sentenced to five years in prison.

…but failure to assent to Bills could cause “collision” – GrangerLeader of the Parliamentary Opposition Brigadier (ret.) David Granger is hopeful that a more equitable and democratic local government system will be realised through the combined support of A Partnership of National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC).Speaking at a People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) press conference last week, Granger said that since the November 28, 2011 elections “we are now capable, more capable than before, of ensuring that the will of the majority is represented and that the voice of the people could be heard.”In this regard,Adam Shaheen Jersey, he said that some of the Bills that were before the Ninth Parliament will in fact be brought back to the 10th Parliament. Parliament is set to come out of recess today and according to Granger “we will use the support of the vote which has been given us, between the AFC and APNU, to ensure that we have a more equitable and more democratic local government system.”He pointed out that the political opposition will seek to use its voting strength to make sure that the people of Guyana have Local Government Reform in accordance with their wishes adding that “we will do what we have to do at the level of the National Assembly and I am confident that after 18 years we are going to get Local Government Reform through the National Assembly…”According to the Leader of the Parliamentary Opposition, he has no fear that this mission will be achieved allowing for Local Government Elections that is done by a fairer system and does not have the intrusive role of the Minister of Local Government. This, by extension, Granger noted, will also guarantee that there will be proper funding for the municipal and local government bodies.In commenting on the need for the President of the Republic to assent to Bills,Anders Bjork Jersey, Granger asserted that there are intervening mechanisms that can be engaged, even as he highlighted that “the president does not have absolute dictatorial powers, so he is obliged to conform to certain requirements of the National Assembly.”According to Granger, if the President fails to assent to Bills submitted by the opposition, not only will he have to show cause, but it could in fact lead to a “collision” which could see other government business being affected.“We have had this problem before during the 2012 budget and we are better prepared to deal with the resistance and opposition by the People’s Progressive Party. The lessons we have learnt from the previous parliament is that the two opposition parties have to continue their collaboration and this is what we are doing.”Granger disclosed that APNU is in touch with the AFC, a strategic move that will ensure that the legislative agenda of the two parties could be harmonised so that “when we go to the National Assembly the will of the majority is reflected in the votes that are taken.”The last nine months of parliament, Granger said,Air Max 95 Black Leather, have been very edifying to the parliamentary opposition and “we are confident that we will be able to maintain momentum of the cooperation that was evident during the budget and the other measures we brought before the National Assembly,Cheap Nike Free Run Shoes, such as the vote of no-confidence in Mr. (Clement) Rohee.”“These things are possible because of cooperation between the two opposition parties,” Granger added.Meanwhile, he said that the opposition is currently seeking the support of local lawyers and international bodies to help in its quest of drafting its own Bills. According to Granger,Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Arsenal Jersey UK, the opposition has thus far spoken with the United Nations Development Project, which is obliged to collaborate with the Government of Guyana. However,Nike Air Max Tn Ultra Plus, he noted that this is a work in progress.“We are aware of the problem of drafting our Bills and we are seeking help, but it is a work in progress.”
