However, Paul told the court that he did not wish to waste the court’s time by continuously coming to court and pleaded guilty to the charge. He asked that the magistrate show leniency in her sentencing. Meanwhile, Prosecutor Kevin London stated that on the day in question Paul had confronted Randy while he was at his gate about a recent problem.
He said that Paul subsequently dealt Randy a chop to his head with a cutlass.
He went on to say that Randy later summoned a police mobile patrol that was in the area and Paul was then arrested and charged for the offence.
