AG v Neil [2004] JRC 088 (14 May 2004)

JUDGMENT THE BAILIFF: 1. Neil, it is a pity that at this stage of your life you should have spoiled what was until now a good record, including a good work record as a law abiding member of the community. The Court does regard the possession of a Class A drug as being a serious matter. We accept that any supply would have been a social supply and not with any commercial motive and we are going to sentence you on that basis.

2. We take into account all the mitigating factors that have been drawn to our attention and the character references that have been provided by your counsel. Having regard to all those matters and the submissions of your counsel we think that the conclusions of the Crown Advocate are right. You will therefore be sentenced on Count 1 to 1 month's imprisonment; on Count 2 to 12 months' imprisonment; on Count 3 to 12 months' imprisonment; on Court 4 to 1 month's imprisonment; and Count 5 to 3 months' imprisonment, and all those sentences will be suspended for two years. We order the forfeiture and destruction of the drugs. Authorities Gregory -v- A. G. (15 th January, 1997) Jersey Unreported; [1997/4]. Conquer -v- A. G .
