TWENTY-NINE-YEAR-OLD Milton Smith (no address given) was remanded to prison yesterday on a charge of attempt to commit a felony. Before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton, it was alleged that, on May 8, he attempted to steal from motor car PPP 1203, property of Ryan Quail.
The defendant pleaded not guilty and asked the magistrate to impose a two- week sentence on him, although he maintained he did not commit the offence.
Smith said he wanted to plead guilty just to finish the matter quickly but the magistrate told him she would not inflict penalty on someone who is not guilty of a crime.
Smith insisted that another reason he wanted to be sentenced is because he has no one to bail him. However, the magistrate responded that the Court would find somewhere for him to stay pending trial.
He, too, was sent to another court for a fixture.
