I see no issue with him being fined, I just hope some form of compensation is given to the victims if the conviction holds

[cacasplat3]

well its not like jail will be helpful....word is he likes it in his buum-buum......

good for him though.....plus if he has a firearm license, most likely it will be revoked.

It good for Machel. I hope they deliver his slap on the wrist with some oomph. Get a mampee to do it.

SOCA STAR Machel Montano was this morning found guilty of five criminal offences.

Montano, the reigning Power Soca Monarch and Road March king, along with Kernel Roberts, the son of legendary Calypso icon Lord Kitchener, Joel "Zan" Feveck, a member of Montano HD Family, and Rodney "Benjai" LeBlanc, best known for his patriotic song, Trini, were all charged with a series of criminal offences arising out a fracas outside the Zen nightclub, in Port of Spain in April 2007.

After postponing her decision on two consecutive occasions, Magistrate Maureen Baboolal-Gafoor, presiding in the Port of Spain Magistrates Court, delivered her decision to a packed courtroom this morning.

Montano was found guilty on four charges of assault against Gerard Borwin, Brandis Browne, Janelle Lee Chee and Russell Pollonais.

Montano was also found guilty of using obscene language during the same incident.

Roberts, the composer of several of Montano's hits, was also found guilty on two charges of assault while Benjai, who was charged with two offences of assault and Feveck, who was charged with a single offence of assault, were found not guilty.

Magistrate Baboolal-Gafoor adjourned the matter to January 12, 2013, after hearing pleas of leniency from the attorneys representing the two men.She ordered that they remain free on bail pending her decision.

- Full details in tomorrow's Trinidad Express newspaper.

This bit of news ,even if not totally unexpected,is very disappointing.
These young talented artistes who have been blessed with tremendous gifts must understand 'to whom much is given much is expected'.
The madness which threatens to infect when one is on a high must be resisted by a stubborn commitment to the highest standards of behaviour.
......Stupidity and ignorance are attributes left for the uncivilised amongst us.
When I saw the school boy in earlier days who won our hearts I never envisaged today.

Don't really follow the genre that closely, so forgive me.
