-court hears of troubled life
Ezekiel Kevin Grant, 20, was sentenced to 18 months in prison on Friday after pleading guilty to armed robbery charges.
The sentencing, handed down by Acting Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court, followed the revelation of a troubled life detailed in a probation report.
Grant, previously known in court records as ‘Kevin Charles’, grew up in an abusive household with an absent father and a mother battling alcoholism. Financial hardships forced him to drop out of school in second form, after which he lived in unstable conditions, including an abandoned house in Sophia and with friends.
